Had code P0753 (Shift Solenoid A electrical)... So I dropped the transmission pan and bought a new solenoid and filter and gasket. 6 hours later, shifts nice and smooth and it feels nicer at idle. $80. First time doing the flush, talk about a PITA.
In other news...
Getting another swingout carrier tomorrow with tighter bushings. (old one rattled like all heII.

Worked on the driver seat of the Jimmy, tried to get the heated parts working again. no luck not sure why I dont have heat in that seat. unsure as to what controls the heaters in the seats i would look over the controller and fix what may be out

Well lets see.... I didn't do any of this today but I do have some updates
1. I ordered and recv'd my shift solenoids and trans filter with seal and gasket
2. Ordered and waiting for my gasket kit to fix my leaking remote oil filter
3.I picked up a couple doors off CL for my half door project that I will be stealing from Logan
4. I stole the mirror off the drivers door and put it on my truck so it now matches the passenger side. I will swap the passenger one soon as well since the one on my truck is power and heated and I have no use or desire to spend the time to wire it up properly. If anyone needs a PS heated power mirror let me know!
And this is what I accomplished today
Ordered 3 (2 for the front, 1 for the back) receiver shackles they aren't the ones I really want but I paid $29.82 shipped for all 3 so I'm not going to complain.
Since I really don't like the look of the tiny shackle on them I ordered 2 sets of these 5/8" shackles for a total of 4 of them. I will swap them out once everything is here and hopefully that will give me the look I want along with the ability to pull people out this winter.

New seats
Installed two 8 way power heated seats with power lumbar. Purchased them from a salvage yard out of a GMC Jimmy Diamond edition. Seats had set in warehouse covered for the last 7 years. It was a really terrific find as they were the same Graphite color as the rest of my interior.

On a kinder gentler note. I put rear pads on and slotted the rear rotors The depth is just to minimum thickness of 18.5 mm Also started programming the Haas to make 2" hub centered adapters for the camaro wheels
