      RW> Synthetics are made to go the extra mile, if you know what I mean.               Yeah, but I no longer am. (-:               RW> Both of those have the 4L60 automatics. They're told to shift by the       RW> computer, rather than engine vacuum. The computer has a been programmed       RW> with all kinds of 'look ups' for it to reference; such as air fuel ratios       RW> at certain levels of sensor input.               The "Burb" is kinda rough shifting from D1 to D2, but I found a way to defeat       that by easing up on the accelerator at just the right time, which, I suppose,       makes me a better computer than the one in the "Burb".               RW>RN> Vastly different than the '84 Chevy PU I had, which drove and rode       RW>RN> like a truck.               RW> Neither of the above could be considered a truck. They're more like hard       RW> work capable, smooth riding SUVs. And gas guzzlers to the mileage freaks.       RW> I'm in the market for one of those.               Those vehicles ride like they have air suspension. My Mark VIII was like that       before I converted it to spring struts. That was one of the dumbest things       I've done.                       Regards,               Roger              ...
