WELL SO MUCH FOR THE TRANSMISSION WE GOT FROM R&D AND B&B PUT IN FOR US! I PUT IN A PINT OF B-12 AND DROVE IT HOME FROM DENISON! LET IT SET OVERNIGHT AND SOAK, THEN DROVE IT THE NEXT AFTERNOON, IT PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY AND DOWN TO WHERE THE ROAD WASHED OUT LAST YEAR AND UP THE OTHER SIDE! WOULD HARDLY PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP, I CAME HOME IN LOW RANGE! WE PICKED UP SOME LUCAS FOR SLIPPING TRANSMISSIONS, PUT IT IN, DROVE IT TO GET SOME GAS BUT HAD TO COME HOME 1 ½ MILES IN LOW RANGE! TOOK IT OUT AGAIN THIS MORNING AND THE SAME THING! EDDY AT B&B WAS RIGHT, IT’S BURNED UP INSIDE! SO WE’LL GET READY TO PUT THE REPLACEMENT R&D IS GOING TO PULL AS SOON AS I DECIDE WHICH ONE? I DON’T WANT ANYTHING THAT’S HAD THE PAN PULLED, THAT’S A SURE SIGN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH IT!

TIM AND KELLY CAN GET TO IT TWO WEEKS FROM EASTER! BOY, IT’S A NICE DRIVING AND RUNNING CAR AND EVERTHING WORKS, ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS, ELECTRIC HEATED AND REMOTE ADJUSTABLE MIRRORS, A/C NEEDS FREON, COOLS BUT NOT COLD, !T IS GOING TO NEED SHOCKS AND STRUTS SOON, TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW, LESS THEN 3,000 MILES ON THEM ACCORDING TO THE PAPER WORK, SUPERFICIAL DENTS THAT I CAN PULL WITH MY HAIL DENT PULLER, BECAUSE THEY’RE SCRATCHED I’LL SAND AND REPAINT THE FRONT AND REAR BUMBERS, ENGINE RUNS SO QUIET AND SMOOTH YOU CAN’T HEAR OR FEEL IT! ON GENERAL PRINCIPAL I’LL REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND CHECK THE REAR SHOES AND REPLACE THEM IF NEEDED! THE PAPER WORK SHOWS NEW DRIVE AXLES ABOUT 1000 MILES BACK! WE GOT THE REPAIR PAPER WORK OUT OF THE GLOVE BOX FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS BOUGHT USED FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER IN DALLAS IN 2004! IT REALLY WAS WELL MAINTAINED, IT LOOKS LIKE IF SOMETHING STARTED GOING WRONG IT GOT FIXED THEN NOT WHEN IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY! I HAVE TO BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT AT A STOP LIGHT AND WOULDN’T UNTRACK IT SELF! AGAIN, I CAN’T BELIEVE WHEN THE CAR WAS SERVICED (EVERY 3000 MILES) THEY WOULDN’T HAVE TOLD THE LADY THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GETTING DIRTY, SHE WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM TO DO WHAT EVER WAS NECESSARY LIKE SHE SEEMED TO DO WITH EVERYTHING ELSE!

WE LIKE THE CAR AND ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PUT IT ON THE ROAD WITHIN REASON! I DON’T KNOW HOW FAR R&D WILL GO BUT THEY’VE NEVER BACKED DOWN ON US IN THE LAST 6-7 YEARS WE’VE DEALT WITH THEM!

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
