There are verying degrees of knowledge when it comes to working on and modifying cars here on the site. I'm no expert but I do know a little bit.

What would you like to see or do and show others how to do it? I.E. Last weekend I learned about installing springs and roller rockers.

It doesn't even have to be that advanced. Brake jobs, shifter replacemnt, strut braces. clay bars, etc....

Post up. What do you want to learn how to do?

I would like to see a gear change. Never done or seen it.

I would like to see something on rebuilding an auto trans... pretty much everything else, I've done myself. rearend builds, motor builds, clutches, manual trans rebuild... just not any autos... they are COMP-LI-FREAKIN-CATED....

Honestly, I'd leave the Autos to the pros....

I'm doing subframe connectors and lower control arm relocating brackets next weekend.

If the parts come in I'll also be doing a coil - over conversion

Auto trans require a lot of special tools. unless someone will let use use a shop I don't think we can do that.

I've done a couple transmissions like the one in your truck, the 4L60E. It's been a while but it's just like riding a bike.

Depending on what's wrong with my car. There might be a chance for some tranny work but it's not an auto.
