I always bring a camera when I go off-road cause I know Bill has his
wall-o-shame for D35's.
But then again I try to drive smart,,,, she idle's well also; 35 mph ;-)

I am still concerned about the transmission. Last night (for the 2nd time in
a week) when cranking, it starts off incredibly sluggish and slowly starts
to crank up the more times I turn the key,,,,, could something in the
transmission be binding up which would then put a load on the starter when
trying to crank?

thanks
