Twin Peaks in Altamonte Springs. I went there several months ago, similar results. There won't be a third time.

Not really, the "scenery" was terrible. I saw one, maybe two that could be considered eye candy.

Nothing exciting today, just an oil change. I am liking the gear change, it is what it needed from the factory.

My transmission crapped the bed last night.

The 72' will have to sit again while I fix the truck. Going to swap in the engine and transmission out of my old truck. It was the plan all along, but was hoping to hold off until this summer/fall.

The interior is nearly finished in the Pontiac...

I opted to have the transmission rebuilt for now. Got it back yesterday, right away knew something was wrong. Got home, let it cool, checked fluid... 5 quarts low.

Called the builder today, said it shouldn't have hurt anything. Still does not set well with me.

Vanny Vanny been a bad girl LOL.

Had a front wheel bearing go out and seize. So new spindle and rotors and bearing later.
But that was last week.

So in light of this I knew the rear axles had wear marks on the bearing surface from rebuilding and putting in the posi 2-3 years ago.

I ordered Richmond axle kits for both sides. Axles bearings, seals and studs. They are special order so in 2 weeks I will be putting those in.

Then all 4 be new. I am not with the wheel falling off thing.

Crunch Wobble wobble can you make it to the garage another 1/4 mile. Got lucky there. But once is enough.

I had to replace the tires on the Suburban about a month ago. I am actually surprised that we didn't have a problem with the old tires considering that when we bought it in Nov 2014, we knew that we needed tires just never got around to it. Oil change this week and maybe a radiator flush to get ready for the summer.

Now the 2008 Toyota needs some tires. Only 52,000 miles on them, but they are the original and have a little bit of wear, mostly highway miles.

I have to get these things done before I bring my car home, that way I can spend my money on front end parts for my car. lol Now I just have to tell hubby that.
