first off, I want to thank you folks for all the tips over the years. Anytime I've had an issue with my 08 tb, i could search the issue along with "trailvoy" and i was on my way to a solution thanks to your collective knowledge base. about a month ago i heard the sounds of a rod bearing starting to sieze, proactively i had my mechanic amigo drop a jasper in it. so now that i am married to the tb for a few more years, i thought i'd join up.
