I've been spending a lot of time making taking care of my truck myself a new hobbie.
I've spent about a thousand dollars so far.
Myself ive changed out the water pump, hoses, radiator(it was cracked), fuel filter, air filter, brakes, brake drums, and so on....
Its very rewarding to take care of these things yourself and have the peice of mind that your vehicle is running fine.
But now....
I changed out the tranny fluid ad the tranny filter.....
There wasnt a factory gasket on there so I know it has been serviced at least once before before I got this vehicle.
But now...
After changing this fluid at 99,000 miles on my 2001 gmc jimmy 4wd....
I have lost all power in first gear.
When I put it in drive... it takes far to long to get up to speed into 2nd gear before i can take off no problem...
this sucks...
My service engine light is on now.
I called my mechanic and he told me I should have never changed the fluid.
Now, when I put it in first gear, i dont have much of a problem, just in drive.
I can put it in 1st gear and work my way up as if it were manual.
So my question is...
Where can I buy a very cheap gun to kill myself.
My mechanic told me this will cost in the thousands.
I dont have that kind of money.
I am so skrewed.
Thats what I get for taking care of business myself.
Now.
What can I do?
WHy has this happened?
And does anyone have a couple thousand they want to donate.
Please tell me anything you can.
I am so very upset right now.
okthxbye.
