Hi, John. I'm sorry that I posted on SCOTTM's thread, actually. Wasn't thinking about edging in there. Hope he will forgive me. If you want to move my comments, please feel free.
I haven't been on here very much, so it's not surprising that you apparently forgot that we're in Taylor, AZ, since Aug 2021. And, I'm not really prepared to give up on the old Suburban, yet. I'm gonna get the tranny back in, soon, I hope, and the new HGM shift controller was in the mail, today, so that'll get thoroughly tested, before I make any decisions about moving away from the Burb. If the trans functions well and the controller turns out to be reliable, I'll be thrilled and plan on running the thing for as long as I'm driving. Gonna be 85 in ~5 weeks! I'm still able to swing a 10 lb sledge and a pick, out there on Dry Gulch hill, so that I can clear the rocks with the Miata, and that's keeping me pretty fit for my age.
