I love my mechanic!

Our transmission has been slipping latley, so Travis put in a new filter and fluid.
This is the old filter and the tub he used to catch the old fluid.
While he had it on the jack stands he also checked the brakes.
They were ok so here he is putting the tires back on.
Here he is taking the stands out from under neath.
Then he lowered the jack.
Now he's show casing the tranmission fluid.
In goes the fluid.
And finally all the fluid is in!

After a test drive then he put it back on one jack stand to change the fuel filter.
It was a little tricky.
But this little snap on pick was the magic tool that did the trick!
This is the old fuel filter.
Last thing he did was check for fuel leaks and one last check of the transmission fluid.
Thanks goes to Steve for taking him up to napa to get the right filter.
Chucks auto parts sold him the wrong one.
And now our truck runs better and doesn't slip any more.

Now that is quite a story and I am glad the truck is now running up to par!!!! Love you and the pictures. Did you hear the Suns may get Shaq???? Wow..that would be great I think...if he is not injured...but I hate they may trade Shawn Marrion for him.

Thanks Dottie and Tami and Ginger. That is a surprise about Shaq but I really like Shawn Marion. We will just have to wait and see what happens...
