YES!!!! YOU...did say there was.
If you can post in open forum that it's "probably" "on the transmission
tail housing".......then you damn well DID say the unit had one!!

I don't know everything either. And I'm NOT engaging in being
belligerent!!!!
I AM however engaged in correcting BAD INFORMATION being given by
someone that SHOULD know better than to go posting erroneous info
in a usenet forum that could lead a DIY'r to go chasing his head after
his
arse because of YOUR incorrect info!!!!!
Now....call me belligerent if you want, but don't negate the fact
that you're
the one that posted the mis-information on the topic.

Many GM vehicles in the past did have the

Well......looks like you finally did what you should have done in the
first place
TEACHER...........you researched the unit enough to learn that the unit
you're
giving advise on is a FWD vehical. Maybe you should have done that
BEFORE
you made your first post. OR.....is that how you're teaching your
students
also.......by guessing?
Well......anywhoo...at least NOW you realize it doesn't have a
tailhousing.
lmao

Maybe you should learn how to research what your spewing forth on!!!!!!
I mean.....you are teaching others......it would be good for you to
understand
that the first step to diagnostics is researching the thing you're
fixing to
diagnose!!!!!!! Then.....you could start all them wanna be techs out
on the
right track and they wouldn't turn out like you.....a guess'r.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And.....as far as to what I know.......well.....it's damn sure obvious
that I
know more than you on this one stud. I didn't have to research, I
knew!!!

Yeah......well......everyone needs trainees. lmao
Matter of fact, I've hired a few tech school grads in my time,
had a few that were on the apprentice program, where they spent
part of their class time at MY shop and recieved course credit for it.

The first thing you have to tell them is.......
FORGET everything they taught you.....cuz you need to know how to
do it right.!!

fact, not fiction!!!
