subject: Lots of mechanical stuff lately.

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!
