    Welcome to the forum Tim, from another Tim.

    My first GU was a 98 4.5l auto... was a great wagon, that spent a lot of time in the dunes here in WA... got a lot of mileage out the old girl too, trouble free. Only thing I had to replace was a starter motor.

    Hope you enjoy the forum. Great bunch of knowledgeable people here who are only too willing to help if you need it.
