    Has anyone use these Tow Mirrors?

    If you use those strap on mirrors, be sure to leash then to your existing mirrors with some string. I almost lost one on the highway and use the leash just in case.

    Trailing arms shot

    I used a 2nd jack to push the box wrench "up" while the backhold wrench was in contact with the ground to loosen the bolts....took alittle time but it worked. I also cut the old arm in half with a sawzall to take the pressure off the bolts to remove them easily. I had to sawzall the right front...

    trans slipping w/no OD flashing

    My ABS light is on as well.... and it is braking weird... not as it normally would. I didn't think this was related...but in reading up on the electronics of the trans, I see that rear ABS sensor is another input signal related to the trans and PCM. ???

    trans slipping w/no OD flashing

    Yeah.... There was a coating on the magnet as well as the pan. I'm thinking / hoping it's electrical.... There was no warning... It drove fine and all of a sudden it began to slip. Reverse is fine- no problem going into reverse. It will eventually shift into all the gears, but it seems to me...

    trans slipping w/no OD flashing

    I dropped the pan. There was a coating of grey gunk around the magnet and the pan. Like it was dipped in thin grey paint. Is that considered a bunch? I replaced the filter and cleaned the mag and pan with brake cleaner.

    trans slipping w/no OD flashing

    Thanks stamp11127 for replying..... I know there are electrical inputs that help the trans do its thing as well.... I'd like to start with easier possible fixes before I just go right to 'rebuild' though.
