Hey Tom, You have or know where I can get hold of a manual or exploded view, of the NP246 transfer case. Mine still leaks, it is coming from the rear output shaft, but can not figure it out. It has a new seal, a new bushing. Also what are the likely causes of a low voltage reading on the rear O2 sensor.Thanks man

Actually I sat down and figured it out Roy, I really would not save much. Right now, I fill up Sunday everning, which lasts me until Wednesday morning, using the math above, knowing that it is a 73 mile (one way) trip, Iwould still be filling up just as often. Also using the math above, filling up the "car" would cost me about 300 a month, compared to 520 a momth with the truck. Yeah the savings of 220 a month would be nice, but what kind of car am I going to get for that? To save that money I would have to not drive the truck, so how would I get to work? I don't have the money to shell out for a "commuting car" unless RICHARD is going to give up. Besides, I hope to be landing a perm position here and if that happens I am moving close enough to ride my motorcycle, so...

Then give the money to buy a "commuter car" and I will drive it! Right now, I ONLY have the truck, so what do all you rocket scientist suggest I do. To make money I have to work, to get to work I have to drive, to drive I have to use my truck as that is all I have. Hmm...

And with fuel costs here currently the savings would be more like 2500

I'm "suggesting" nothing... I have no opinion on what you should drive. That's your decision. I simply completed a math problem.

Who pissed in your corn flakes? Just helping ya with your math. I'd think you'd look real good in a "commuter car" sorta fit's your personality.

See, Buddism strikes again!!

One can pick up a beater commuter car around here (old Honda or Toyota) for the cost of your fuel savings over a year or two.

Of course there are additional costs associated with another car (especially an old one) that would cut into the return on investment time.

I once had a temporary job down in CT that ran from March to November when funding would go away, so I decided to do the 83 mile each way commute rather than move, so I understand why you might choose to stick out the commute over other options.

[I used a cheap old VW Rabbit for my "econocar" for many years and it worked quite well at 32 mpg.]

I used to be a driving fool (not dangerous,just loved to drive!) and I still am to slightly lesser degree, but that 170 mile round trip commute got old fairly soon and I was glad when it ended!

Yep... I see a puff-blue VW Beetle, with a little bouquet in the flower holder, and a pink iPod cranking out Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy"

You can see that?? Maybe we can get my pink rabbit buddy in the car with him for full effect.
