Baystate Jeepers

Well so far so good...I think the best advice I got so far is from a mechanic friend of mine..(who is out of state - or I'd go to his place) "Don't panic, keep an eye on the fluid, but start saving a few bucks here and there just in case. Worst case is you drive it until it dies and replace it with whatever money you saved, best case is it never dies and you have money put aside to buy tires, or a lift kit, or whatever"

Can't argue with that logic I guess.

Your friend sounds like a wise person!
