# 80

80. Fix Jason's truck (Feb. 8, 2009)

Woot! This was actually a painful one. We took the truck in knowing that it would be expensive, so we saved up for it and knew we had our tax refund coming just in case it ended up being more. It needed the rear main seal fixed, which involved taking out the entire engine (sounds like I know what I'm talking about, huh?!....well I don't, lol, so don't freak out!) Soo into the shop it goes, then we get a call, of course, the clutch needs to be replaced because it has burn spots on the plate, Mmmkay. The owner of the shop was super nice and offered to put in the new clutch for the cost parts only because the engine was already out (normally about $600-700 labor alone!) So we think that is a good deal though the clutch kit is another $350. *sigh* Oh well, we finally go and pick it up to a tune of over $1400... that really hurt! We don't even drive the truck unless we're going camping/hiking/offroading, none of which we do much of anymore because of little E, but it needed to be fixed, and now it is! So #80, CHECK!
