   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!
