	Well it's sad to hear that another V6 has been bitten by the nasty
	rear main seal gotcha again. My '83 GMC Jimmy had the same problem,
	but with as many miles as I put on my truck, my rear main started
	leaking during the warranty period. The only way to remedy the
	problem was the old "pull the engine and replace" move. Not a
	pretty thought at 10K miles. My Father-in-Law purchased a '84
	Blazer 4 months ago, and he is detecting "little drips" near the
	main seal. It seems as though Chevy/GMC has a fix for it, as mine
	has not leaked since it was replaced. If they do, then why aren't
	they using this new seal on all regular production???
