[00 SS]

I've done so much car work in the last 2 weeks, I'm actually getting sick of it. Here's the list of what I've had to do.

'88 Buick:
PS Pump - leak and bad bearing
Harmonic Balance - rubber cracked and pully delaminated
Passenger side half shaft - outer CV boot exploded

'03 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
Front brakes and rotors
Inner front axle seals - passenger side was leaking and may have been the cause of the brake issues
Transfer case fluid change - it was just time
Passenger front window regulator and motor - cable broke

I've got about $750 in just parts, I don't even want to know what all this would have cost at service shops.

Anyway, just venting.

Ok the bad luck is starting to hit me. First my 94 has lost a u-joint or something in the steering. I noticed that on friday and on saturday I replaced a fuel pump in a 96 bird and got to pull it right back out cause it is defective. The only good news is I did not fully reassemble the car before trying to start it. Oh yea my daily driver 00 Z needs a battery. I know the majority of what I got is gravy compared to what Mike and Kevin got but these fuel tanks suck when the customer does not want the floor cut.

Don't you hate that? I got a new pump and updated harness for our 95 9C1 Caprice. I installed it, put gas in it, and tried, but no start. The odd thing was I could hear the pump spin up like it's supposed to, but it seemed to get no fuel pressure. I hadn't touched anything else. After trying to verify it was something else, I had to drain the fuel and pull the pump for another inspection. I finally discovered they had built the harness with the power wires switched! After swapping the wires to the pump, and bolting everything back together, we were back on the road.
