If ya need more or diagrams, post up. I'll check back in A.M., I'm just tired as 'ell right now and need some shut eye. I happened upon some nice GM software with manuals and service bulletins for most all the newer 95+ GM stuff. :supz:

Hey,,really appreciate the info guys. Thanks a lot. Now,, just to get the job done. I don't like working on late model stuff at all but got to be done. Haven't had any AF mix yet but have been pushing my luck.
Thanks again.
