This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I'd list the entire VIN &/or at least the partial (e.g. 40Xxx1876) in case anyone out there in the world does a search.

    Was the dealer/counter replacement in the car when you got it? If so,it is possible it was replaced at the dealer,under warranty.

    The one I had I bought with a setup from another member. He swore up & down that the car still exists. I listed it on here for quite awhile,but after a year,I put it to use. It just takes the right person to see the ad. Good luck.

    I'd try all the known Muncie rebuilders, as well. Quite a few might be in Hemmings, and not really computer saavy.
