We could split the cost on access to a service manual for a day.

Thanks a lot, at least gives us an idea. I might stop by and ask my SA. BTW I just ordered the control arms from Pelican Parts for $58.00 each. The Brand is Karlyn (don't know if they are any good), but the price is very good.

I know, I thought about it. It's too late now the control arms should be here tomorrow and I only have this weekend to work on them. Hopefully the others are fine for now.

Going to get up around 7AM tomorrow morning, and attempt to do radiator, coolant pump, and heat exchanger along with full transmission/coolant flush... Don't think I'll finish in a day. Any issues you ran into that could help save me some time?

Radiator is a bit time consuming. I took the fan out first. Splinter has a pictorial on the job. Might want to search it. I had trouble separating the radiator from the other coolers. May want to drain the tranny while you are working on the radiator. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you

I am going to do the thrust arms tomorrow. Any pointers? Do you think I need an alignment right way? I'm going to do an oil change as well, do guys know if I can reset the counter eventhough it says I have 200 miles to Service B. Doesn't say service due yet. Thanks.

I get the arms confused. Are you changing the aluminum arms or the steel ones? The steel ones are much easier and shouldn't take long at all. The aluminum arms require that you unbolt the strut from the spindle/hub assembly and rotate it out of the way so the aluminum control arm can be removed.
