Not criticism dude, it is annoyance. You make the assumption that I
have no idea what I am talking about. Instead of answering my
question, you bring question my decision to pull the rear drive shaft.
All I wanted to know about was driving by utilizing the front end
only. And you still haven't answered that.

You don't find the readability in better. Maybe you don't spend
enough time on usenet to care...that's fine...as much as Bill posts
though, I wish he would do it "properly." Of course, I am not
twisting anyone's arm here, am I?

Mike, how exactly would I lose the fluid? Rusty's posts aside, I am
not trying to be a d!ck, maybe I am smoking something. Or, by telling
me I should be losing fluid, you are really telling me I need a CJ.
