Thanks Steven. I have noticed small spots of liquid on the driveway, but I
thought it was just the tranny pan leaking. I am getting a reconditioned
tranny, mine is slipping, so I thought that was what was making the spots.
I'll give the truck a once over tonight. If it is the block, thank God for
the extended warranty. ;-)
