Well, the good news is I have a new steering box and she doesn't keep trying to change 3 lanes at a time if you hit the dead spot in the box.
Also good news is we have the Technical article for the summer edition of SharkBytes, to be out by EOM July.
The bad news is...Tim's wife's blazer has a blown head gasket, not something we could have fixed in the 3+ hours we had last nite.

Sm@ht@$$...
As it turns out, if'n we had done the head job, we woulda fixed the problem but only by accident. Apparently, it is leaking from the rear drivers side of the intake manifold, where ya can't see.
If'n we spent more time werkin, then the womenfolk'd find out how long this stuff really takes and we'd have ta go inta the house and be sociable like the cracker...
