No I didnt, but, when I was at the dealership, they told me I was on the way out then.
They said that the reason I have noticed that it seemed to be getting louder was it was going out. And friday it was loud and very rough sounding, then nothing at all.
so I beleive it bit the dust.

BillBoost37, I swear I thought I saw you psot this same procedure once before, but couldn't find the bugger for the life of me, lol.

Now I've got a latch on it and won't let go...
