  • Got my baby back!

    Well I got my T/A back on wensday!!! Ya baby!!! I took it to Slatter automotive in South Bend. He said that a couple of connections were wrong and the wire had burned so hot at the fuse panel that it had melted the connection so they had to reroute that fuse to a different spot. Then he said that one of the computers wasn't talking to another and thats why the car wouldn't start!!! They did an awesome job and very quick to for all they had to do to it. He also gave me all the wiring diagrams that he had printed off to see what wire were in what circuit(about an inch thick if not more)!!! Cost me just a tad under $300 for parts, labor, and hooking it up to a diagnostics machine. Funny little side story though...I arrived to pick up the car and it was sitting outside and his garage doors were closed. He had told me on the phone they were going to be working a little late on this guys dodge demon. Well I walked into the reception area and there is this guy about 6ft 4" in there who is the owner of the demon mind you this guy has a full face beard and is manlier than manly looking....the guy tells the other mechanic to back the car out of the garage...I hear it start and instantly get one of those goofy looking smiles and say Oh yeah!!! So the shop guy ask me if I had saw it and I said no so he said to open the door and look at it...It was BRIGHT PINK W/FLAT BLACK ON THE HOOD!!! LMAO!!! Almost fainted though huffing the race gas I love that smell! LOL!!!

    Haha, glad you got your car going! Also doesn't sound like a bad price at all for digging into wires!

              Its out in the country barely in south bend....you go down 31 out of niles to clevland/brick exit...then go east to brick rd. (about .2 miles) then left...go to mayflower rd and turn left then north and its just past adams rd on the left hand side...he is listed online if you do a search for slatter automotive in south bend. As a matter of fact when I trailered it I went through niles! Took the toll rd. home though...are you going to the summer m&g???? maybe we could do a meet up in three rivers with a bunch of us to cruise over to gilmores...
