Just got back from Cheverolet dealer with the 1 ton truck(barely). They said the transmission is shot again. The small amount of coolant from the bad radiator it HAD, is the reason. Regardless of being rebuilt that coolant wrecked this transmission too. To rebuild the transmission is $2000-$2300, comes with a 1 year warrently. A new GM transmission is about $3100, comes with 3 year 100,000 mile warrenty. Beyond this they said there are ABS brake sensor codes which could be only $140 to replace a sensor( the mooing brakes and pedal push back), BUT it is possible that the main brake computer module is the problem, they cant tell unless they replace the sensors. The module is close to $1000, if it's disconnected the torque convertor will not lock up like it is supposed to. The truck is also giving off some engine codes that say it is running lean, which I am guessing is caused by the catalitic convertor's being removed prior to me having it. . I dont know what to do. The truck was $3500, engine tune up was about $800, 1st rebuild was $2000, this last time trying to get it to work was $650, the radiator was $380. Thats $7300 and I still need to rebuild the transmission again, $9600 total. I am gonna have to rebuild even if I wanted to trade it in or sell it, cause who wants a truck that doesnt F'ing move. I'm just pissed, it's no ones fault. . I should have left it at the shop and said rebuild it, but I figured I could make it home, I barely did, it kept going out on me, and my cell phone was near dead. I was only able to drive 10-20 mph the last 5 miles, and it kept going in and out. I'm so mad right now I cant even think what to do.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
