Here is an update on various projects that I have completed on family vehicles
recently.  

2002 Monte Carlo:  Replaced fuel pump, blower motor resistor, complete brake
job with Centric rotors and Akebono pads - including new calipers which I
painted, new CV-half shafts (axles), new transmission cooler lines, new
Michelin Defender tires, and recently just had to repair a wire harness issue
which was causing the transmission to not function (stuck in 3rd gear) and
throwing a code.  

Ended up being one wire that had rubbed through next to the A/C condensor.  It
was not an easy job, but had to solder a new area of wire, then tape it all up
and reinforce with some wire harness sleeving.  That repair saved a fortune, as
at first the problem seemed to be the transmission - except it threw (3) trans
codes at the same time.  All (3) were on the same circuit on the harness.

2001 Durango:  New power steering pump with cooler, had to replace the trailer
wiring harness due to a short in the box, new window regulator and master
control on the driver's side door.

I also helped my step-son replace a transmission range sensor switch on his
Honda yesterday.

Had lots of fun this summer!
