Transportation update.

Ok. Last week was busy. Of course it sounded simple enough, Fix truck, then fix Car. Nah, not that simple.

Even though I replaced them less then 2 years ago, Both rear calipers are shot on the Yukon. Well not anymore, I had them replaced, AGAIN. (Yea, not 1 but 2 as in both rear.) I really want to keep the truck, I put a new transmission in it, brakes all the way around( third Time now for both ends), I had the injectors rebuilt, and I have replace all O2 sensors, and plugs, rear springs and shocks on all four corners. Yet the truck will still apparently go through brakes every year, and it still has an annoying lack of power at different times. It knocks when cold, needs new torsion bars so that the front end can be aligned , and the body is rusting badly. I have too much in it and I guess it has to stay.

The poor car. It has lived a life of pure abuse. For almost 2 years I have been driving the car with an intermittent shifting problem. Thursday, the Focus transmission finally decided it had enough and it quit. When it quit, the transmission took out the clutch, and stranded my wife and children, miles from home. ARG.

Anyhoo, The truck was done, so Diana called the shop and they towed the truck to her and picked up the Focus.
