Ahh the in-lawz are not really that bad. They just don't share the love of diesel that I do. The new transmission was awesome on the way out. I have never let my wife drive it, and she drove it for over an hour and a half on the way, and then I could not take not driving it any more. I can not say enough good things about it. did you talk to Dave about me or did you read one of my other posts about it, since you live in Iowa?
