Thank you, sir.

Thanks much for the info. I will follow-up.

Thank you for the thoughts. I will check it out.

I've been keeping a log of the strange behavior of my 1HDT. I know it's a lot to read, but if any of you have the patience for it, I would appreciate any new insights. First Incident: Drove the truck approximately three miles to Fred Meyer. Shopped for about 45 minutes. Started truck, drove...
