Default 1999 Tilt Motor replaced, now it all works

I caught Sewell in a good mood and bought the tilt motor for 258.93, instead of 424.48 (list) and had it put in for 275.50.
It feels so good to put the ignition key in and the T&T starts it's adjustment to my driving comfort.

the part # 89231-50050.

sorry billy but i would have sifted through several junkers before i spent that much on a tilt motor...

or just locked it in a comfortable position until i came across a cheap motor.

I have been doing that for nearly a year, with out success, and my wife said "I never saw an armored car following a hearse" ..... go ahead and spend something. so it is done... my T&T worked on my car, this was on hers...

Although that's a huge amount for a little bit of comfort, she does have some logic there, ya can't take it with you. Plus, that amount isn't just for her comfort, it's also for your piece and quiet. Gotta keep her happy.

Dean, you are exactly right.... you must be married... usually I do jobs like that myself, but it is so hot down here.. I was not about to treat my body that way. so the 258.93 was for her, and the 275.50 was for me.... it is 8:30 here and the temperature is still 103

Not any more, I got out when I could. (19 years) Now I just need to keep myself happy. But yeah, that $275 was probably worth not doing it in the heat. I can't believe the temps out there, (been watching the news) We've been 95 - 98 for a couple weeks, which is unusual.
