I got to spend 2700 on a new trany. I guess the trany did pretty well for being supercharged for 10 years......

I haven't done a damn thing. I've been on vaca for the past week. That comes to an end today. Tomorrow I get to go back to work.

Took mine to the stealership and had the transmission serviced, system flushed, all fluid changed to Mercon V, she seems very smooth now, I think I was having a bit of torque converter shudder which I do not feel at all any more. 131,000 miles and no idea of previous maintenance performed and I tow, they said the trans. had definitely been serviced in the past and it and entire vehicle is in very good condition for age/mileage.

Replaced my cracked passenger side mirror. I didnt have to take the whole assembly off though. I bought a replacement mirror off ebay $10 free shipping. Mine have the signals that are suppose to shine through(thought they were bad) they werent! I replaced the mirror only and DID NOT add the light diffuser that was originally on the LED side mirror turn signals(so the LED lights are brighter) they shine right through the new mirror! Looks awesome! gona do the driver side tomorrow :waytogo:

I've got a rust hole in the center of the truck on both rockers/right between the front and rear doors, right above the running boards. Its the only rust on my truck. They sell those replacement rocker panels on Ebay, do you cut out the whole rocker and replace it? or just the hole and cover it?

Cut the old rocker out and weld in the new one.

As far as the belt, I have replaced mine twice in 220k so it would be a good idea. If the ribbed side has cracks that is ok, but if the other (smooth) side has cracks, the belt is shot and getting ready to break.

I have not done anything to my truck today... I should probably go drive around the block a couple times.

Replaced my spark plugs. Ordered the removal tool just in case and come to find out my lazy ass has brown boots and thus no need for the tool. Got home and replaced the plugs in 30 min in my driveway. So mad at myself.

I just lifted my 05 Expy 3-1/2x2-1/2 but the 35" trail graps rub the struts. Any ideas to fix this problem? I thought about 1.5" wheel spacers.

What was your shudder like? i.e. what speed, how long, more of a vibration or wiggle? I changed my fluid with filter and such too but still have a shudder that I hate!

I accidentally completely locked my drivers side door shut from inside and out today... I was working on the window regulator when I thought I would tape that pesky bar down that is supposed to be connected to the exterior key lock on the handle (been broken for years and rattles around in the door). Put the panel back on and get everything back together, close the door to see if the rattle is gone, and it will not open back up. Go around the other side and press the unlock button, lock still doesn't come up. Pull on the interior handle, door won't budge...

I managed to get a pliers on the lock tab and pull it upwards peeling some of the tape on the inside off. Lock now functions again, but I felt pretty dumb at first having engaged the lock like that haha.

Oh and I got my window fixed. Duct tape is the answer to all problems.
