good deal! did they say there was any obvious damage?

 

[ChrisAU]

No, but it was slipping somewhere apparently and setting a P1870 code, causing the hard shifts.

Glad to hear she's getting better, Chris!!!!

I've got a passenger side leak too that I have to track down. What screws were leaking on yours?

 

[ChrisAU]

It was one of the two that hold down the main part of the cowl on the passenger side. Pop the small piece up and out and you can see the two I'm talking about. I took them out and siliconed the sh*t out of them and that area.

Glad the trans is fixed, now you can really enjoy the truck.

 

[ChrisAU]

Yep, after I fix the rear wheel bearings ha

i love that you are putting in work to keep another old one on the road but i can't help but wonder how much you have tied up in it now. wasn't the point of selling the hoe to save some cash? not being negative. i like the truck and what you are doing.

 

[ChrisAU]

Yeah and I am. I'm probably up around 7, but it will be solid when I'm done and reliable. I was paying $6,600 year for the Tahoe in payments alone; tag and instance differences add another $800/yr. So it should pay for itself within a year, and my monthly cash flow is much larger.

damn thats alot for a new car car, definetly ahead of the game with the truck then.
