I was in tech school for the past year, so not alot of work got done, but im out, graduated with honours and ready to get back to work just in time for the cold to set in.

Seing as i could only work on weekends it was hard to get anything done this summer, but... after four months of carburetor problems a nice long soak in carb cleaner finally got her running nice again. Its back to the way it was and i dont think it get much better.

Any problems i had with the ultramatic shifting have reduced to virtually nil, with the exception of the "half shift". it seems to be fine though, no engine speed flare like a slipping trans or other problems.

A plugged trans cooler gave me problems early this summer, but that has been replaced by a large fin and tube unit (rated for motorhomes and towing pickups)and it seems to have taken care of that.
