Bought 5 treadwright Guard Dogs (so I can have a fullsize spare) and all of my lift parts and shocks, along with some other doodads. I'm getting pumped :D

Tinted the taillights vht nightshade.... 2000 grit wet sand, 3 coats of vht nightshade and will wet sand again and buff and polish tomorrow until smooth and shiny like glass.... I also played around with the front lights with regular tint.... next is to open headlights and bumper lights to paint housing black and color match grille....

I think the trans is shot. 2nd whines out, doesn't go into 3rd. I'm mentally drained! Of course it happens on a holiday weekend.

Have a shop check ur shift solenoids. One may have gone out. Had something similar happen. If you have reverse there's still hope. If not it may be a broken sunshell.

Oh yeah, to put it mildly.

I soooooo hope that's the case. Would/could that burn your trans fluid a little? The level is good, just a little brown. Doesn't smell that burned either.

Anything is possible and I wonder if you got coolant in your trans fluid when the radiator cracked. It may have started slipping. That's why I run my trans cooler seperate and bypass the radiator..that may be harder to do up North.

Now that I think about it the trans runs thru the passenger side tank and your leak looks like the drivers side tank.

The radiator trans cooler was bypassed by the shop when I got my auxiliary trans cooler installed.

Sounds like you know the right process to paint, so why paint on or near the truck crazy ?
Scuff it up again and throw 2 coats of clear on. Make them look like mirrors.

Guess I have a bigger leak in my AC system than I thought. The refrigerant I put in 2 days ago is already gone....

Thankfully its still in the 60-70s this weekend.

Went to fill up the nnbs at the gas station today, had a 50 cents off per gallon coupon, forgot to tell the lady premium since I'm so used to just saying yes to regular with my nbs and my other car, went back in and asked the other cashier lady very politely if i could change to premium and the first old ***** started running her mouth. She said "Oh that should be fun trying to switch that, thats why I asked you in the first place if you wanted regular." Wrong place, wrong time, and wrong person lady, i said "Why don't you just chill the f**k out." Their jaws hit the floor lol. By that point she had pissed me off so bad i just said "Stupid ass people." And walked out. Long story short need to sell my little car and trade the nbs tahoe for a nbs esky so i can remember to always get premium lol.
