I pulled the pan this weekend and its smelled horrible. So I called the company up and they are going to refund me 75% of the cost. Damnit.  Oh well, I guess thats the risk I took buying this transmission used from some place. Lesson learned.  So now I have to drive 85 miles out there to get my money back (at least part of it).  Sucks. Hopefully my truck will be fixed soon. Heres to hoping.

I had to think about what R&R was, but I got it after a couple of seconds. Removal and Reinstall. This guy is a Certified Dodge Transmission Tech, so I assume he knows what hes doing. It comes with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. I’m feeling really comfortable with this so far.

But here’s the thing. I have a Transmission sitting at my parents house that I can throw in the truck. I have no idea if its any good, but It has warranty. So what I’m thinking about doing, is having this guy swap transmissions in the truck. So that would only be $300. We’ll see.

Just a thought.

Earl had some hockey gear for sale, so I contacted him to see what the deal was. So I went down to meet up with him on Saturday and checked it out. It was all in really good shape, and fit me great, so I went ahead and picked it up. Now I just need to get my truck fixed, and take care of a few other loose ends before I start to play.

Ice Skating in Germany - January 2001Tonight, Ricky and I will try and go up to Ice Town and do some skating. I’m pretty excited about it. It will be my first time on the ice since January 2001. The last time I skated, I was in Germany and by my Aunt Marias hosue was a frozen pond that we were able to go ice skating on. So my cousins Martin, Pia, my sister Roxane, my Brother In-Law Matt and I all skated around. It was kinda freaky the second day at times thought as you could hear the ice crack. Thats a bad sign, a very bad sign. So we decided it was in our best interest not to continue with that activity.

Im about to sell my Dodge Transmission (A518, 46RH). I just dont have the time to mess with it, and for just a couple hundred more, I can just get the one in the truck rebuilt. So we’ll see what happens there.
