Thanks, Mike. I got Mike Young to help me get the oil drain plug out of there and placed back in properly. He says it's not an original 411 oil drain plug, so that may have been the reason why the tire shop guys screwed it up. I'll be doing the job myself moving forward, but with much greater care.
My next problem is to fix the speedometer. The cable seems intact but the plastic pinion gear is likely worn. Not sure where the hell I would find another. John Lorio says to get a GPS rebuild from Jon Frampton. Neely also said to do a GPS rig. Not sure which route to go right now.
I'm also going to try and fix the window channel felt. My windows are rattling so badly that it's driving me bats.
I am also looking to get the radiator recored for more long distance hauls, perhaps another trip from San Francisco to Williams, AZ in the Fall. We shall see!
Always something!! Many little projects left. Overall, it is running well.
