Going green! We swapped out some lower ball joints, upper control arms with joints, and inner outer tie rods with Mevotech TTX parts on this 3500hd farm truck. Also replaced the steering idler bracket/arm as well. Should feel like quite the difference driving it now. Truck had a lot of play in the front end before it got tore apart today.

This jeep got dropped off a few weeks ago and said it had an oil leak, brake noise, and give it a once over. Oil leak was found and the passenger valve cover gasket was leaking right into the catalyst converter heat shield, so that smell was always burning off. We replaced both of them, spark plugs, intake gaskets, and changed the oil cooler housing while in the area as preventative maintenance being a known issue on these 3.6s. After the work in engine bay was done found that both wheels on passenger side brake pads were down to metal, and the shocks were in rough shape being very rusty and one was blown and leaking fluid. Got everything fixed, replaced and good to go again. Crazy that this vehicle just left a shop after it had "new lifters" installed but yet no gaskets were replaced? And also left there with a safety inspection but not even 1000 miles later it was left at my place and brakes were down to metal and had a blown shock? Some strange stuff on this one.

Got a message asking if I could work in and make a trip to Eminence a few weeks ago to get this fixed asap. Drove down with parts I thought was needed to fix this issue and it wasn't enough. The car ended up needing a new Spindle, wheel bearings, rotor/hub, and brakes. But got it fixed up and they said car drives better than it ever has now.

Installed a Firestone helper bag set on this ram farm truck a few weeks ago. Guy asked if I could install the kit with onboard air to make it simpler for his wife to use the truck. The dash is very flat in these 4th gens and I wasn't comfortable putting it where I normally would above the driver pedal area. Ended up talking with the customer and we came to the conclusion that making use of this little panel area would work if I could make it happen. I did get it to work and all go together as clean as possible without running lines or wires across the ebrake release lever. Everything functions like normal still.

Got a call asking if we could pull an engine at his place in bucyrus a few weeks ago, said he had a cherry picker and leveler to do the job. Once got there he asked if we could pull trans as well that way everything can be freshened up so he can comfortably finish up and put some miles on this cool old Javelin.

Got called to come diagnose an engine noise last week, popped the hood and Immediately knew it was on the Serpentine system. Looking into it I seen that the ac compressor clutch was rusty and the culprit. Took a few tries to get the right parts here but finally got it replaced yesterday and fixed up. While was in there noticed that the car had a pretty bad oil leak, she had taken it to a shop before about the leak they changed some parts and said not to worry about it. We found that the turbo oil feed line was gushing as soon as car was started. Changed out a simple oring and took care of that while in there.

Swapped the transmission on this crv last weekend for a friend. Wasn't to bad of a job. Unfortunately the old trans went perfect in all forward gears but had no reverse.

Today we replaced an upper timing cover on a VW passat. The old plastic one was leaking oil pretty bad and seemed like a good time for an upgrade vs just change the gasket. So aluminum and new gaskets got put on. Tight area to work in but got it accomplished. Then the car got new brake pads and rotors all around as well. Gotta love German engineering and triple square bolts.

Been awhile since I have posted anything. Still keeping busy, trying to get better organized and back into the swing of things. Summer is coming up quick!

We got a solid brake pedal back in this old bullnose ford today. New master, booster, and a caliper.

Then did the first AC job of the year. Found a bad pressure port leaking freeon out. Replaced the parts, sucked it down, and charged back up. AC is cold again! On the same truck we did a trans filter, and installed a 40k cooler while at it.
