Are You Slipping, Shudderring, Clanging When You Take Off? You Need A Fix, A Transmission Fix!
January 7, 2010
I just finished a telephone conversation with a delightful lady named Alex Ramirez. It’s not unusual to have a chat with a lovely lady, it is unusual to discuss Ford 4R70W electronic controlled 4 speed automatic transmission with an over drive gear and lock-up feature.

November 30, 2009

My great grandmother drove Chevy trucks; my mother had a Cadillac and then a Buick. Over the years I, proudly drove and owned four Oldsmobile’s, five Chevy trucks, a Pontiac and two Cadillac’s. My wife’s first car was a Chevy convertible. My daughter drives a Chevy Suburban and my son-in-law, a Chevy diesel truck....
