The more I do and have others do with my trucks, the more I don't want anyone else to touch them. The so called experts that I see working in the shops around here really have no formal training in what they are doing.

For example, I had a tranny rebuilt this summer and had trouble with it shifting after I put it in. I looked at the troubleshooting in the GM service manual and found the line pressure was way too high and never changed. I told the tranny guy this, and he wouldn't believe me. He said "I don't know what so called procedure you used or what port you used or what gage you used." I tried to explain, but the dude wouldn't listen. He claimed for a week it was my TV cable bracket (it never was) and had me running around buying a new one and modifying it to his specs. The problem finally turned out to be the governor was stuck because of debris they failed to keep out of the tranny when they rebuilt it.

I find that nobody cares about my trucks like I do so nobody will do as good a job as I want them too. I'd rather do everything I can myself, at least then I at least didn't pay for someone else to do it less than perfectly...
