Of the two choices, I'd rather be out making toy money. BTW, I don't think
"calmly" is the correct word in your description. Old folks ususally have a
case of the shakes...

I'll take your word for it. Experience counts in most things. I'm sure when
your shakey old hand grabs onto yours it's nothing but a big-assed grin on
your face...

Anybody have a clue about the valve body thing? Is it OK to remove it
and take it apart for cleaning? Anything in particular I need to
watch out for, like springs that are going to fly across the garage?

I watched the mechanic do my '95 4x4 and didn't "see" anything unusual, but
he is the expert and not me. Mine was done at 170,000 miles the first time
after a lot of heavy towing and hard driving. He did the "shift kit" and it
sure makes it shift stronger and seems not to shift up and down quite so
often on medium grades. The "shift kit" actually comprised of enlarging one
of the ports in the valve body for more quantity of flow and a remap of the
computer (Mopar high performance). He didn't charge for it and said they do
it on all the Dodges of that era. I caught mine before it self-destructed
and it cost about 1,400 bucks.

Hopefully he didn't charge you $1,400 just to drill a hole and remap
the computer?
