. . . .

Good news from my mechanic . . . the roughness in the engine was a broken push rod and lifter . . . a lot better then a new engine !!! They were fixed today and he got my Highlander wheel covers to go on too !!! ( he had to "customize" the back of them a little ) The brake booster is holding vacuum - he's going to drive it a little and see if the booster is working ( if it ever stops raining )

I also mentioned to him that I wanted to eventually rebuild the engine and install an overdrive transmission - he said he can pull the engine, bring the truck back to my garage on his trailer and reinstall everything for me this winter . . . then all the "big stuff" will be done !!!
