[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 202580, member: 406"] Pretty much do it all except auto trans, have rebuilt a few older Gm, Dodge and Fords over the years but most require a lot of special tooling knowledge and training anymore, same goes for the electrical control systems of pretty much anything newer than 20 years old is about impossible without the tools and training. I do enjoy gear work. I can weld and fabricate but the time it takes to do so on most things anymore one can go buy things fairly cheap anymore. In my older age I don't do as much as I used to but also drive newer nicer things than years of old too which require less work. Helps that I am not as poor as years ago now too so taking the technical stuff or PITA stuff i just don't want to deal with to the shop isn't as much of a hardship even though the labor rates are about 3 times what they were back then. I had the trans rebuilt in one of my pickups a few years back and was going to do the R&R myself but shops will not honor a warranty that way I found out after calling a few, in order to get their warranty they need to do the R&R work too.
