I'll start out by giving thanks and recognition to someone that has helped me out tremendously, webracin aka Chris.
Last year, around June, my transmission started making the noises that it was on its way out. Because of the symptoms at the time, I was not convinced it was the transmission and coupled with a vibration I had, I decided to replace the axles. However, I had never done this before and was a little lost on how to get the work done.
Chris chatted with me on line most of the day helping me find the parts and supplies I would need to get the work done. Then took it upon himself to drive to my house from Arkansas to help me replace the axles. Thats around a 2 - 3 hour drive one way just to help a fellow GP owner replace axles.
A couple months later, in August we had a club meet out at his place. My oil analysis had been showing a coolant leak so I needed to replace my LIM gaskets. I spoke to Chris and he agreed to help to get that done during the meet. So I drove out to his place to get all that done.
Me and Chris hit it off at that time because him and I have a great deal in common when it comes to attention to detail and a perfectionist mentality. We ran into some complications and things ended up taking longer than planned. It ended up taking us all that weekend to get things done. Chris invited me into his home, fed me, gave me a place to stay and never once showed anything other than pure hospitality and a willingness to help and see everything through until it was done right.
He ran me all over the place picking up stuff we needed and in the end when we got it all done, the car started up like a champ and everything was working perfectly. We replaced the LIM gaskets, fuel injector o-rings, put on a MPS on the blower, and even had to replace one of the axles because the boot got damaged (unknown to us when the work was done) and was slinging grease.
If you dont know Chris, take the time to do so. Most are unaware just how much he does for this community and the lengths he goes through to help people out.
