Water outlet gaskets, and Torsen diffs.

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

John,

        One funny thing, is that the water outlet gasket number is/has been easy
for me to memorize, since it's my parent's ZIP CODE!  They got a real kick out 
of that!

  Engine Seal (Felpro) gasket part number 85749 is
for the water outlet if you don't make your own gaskets.

Tom,

        I hate to burst your bubble, but the Torsen is alive and well and being 
offered as standard equipment in the ever present AMG Hummer and HMMWV for about
the last 10 years.  The HMMWV enetered production in or around 1986, and the 
Hummer (civi) in 1992.  The standard GVW for the Hummer is 10K and the HD is 12K
with overload springs.

        I don't think that is the weakest part of the Hummer, if you read the 
list, U-joints, Trannies, Tcases, and brakes seem to fail the most.
