Truck's first visit to the $hop!

We took Maria's truck to the shop to get the AC/Heater blower replaced (Maria got tired of the early morning winter commutes to work with wet hair and no heat - wimp!). This is the first time Maria has had the truck in the shop for a more than a day or so. The truck has 111,000 miles and she has put on over 60,000 of those. We knew of a couple other things that needed to be worked on and told the mechanic about those and also gave him liberty to look over the truck and let us know of other issues. He called me today and gave me the run-down:

• Replaced blower
• New brake pads
• Fixed parking break cable
• Bolted down the battery
• Re-bolted fuel filter (both the battery and the pump must have rattled loose on a rabbit hunt)
• Replaced the timing belt (the loose battery had fallen on one of the belts and began to wear a whole in the battery and deteriorate the belt)
• Replaced coolant pump (which was leaking on the torque hinge of the timing belt)
• Removed and cleaned corrosion of earlier mentioned hinge
• Replaced water seals and radiator hoses
• General tune-up of other components

I think that was everything. I may add to the list when I see the receipt. Speaking of receipt... this is costing us a very pretty penny so if any one is interested I have a kidney and a pint of plasma for sale on Craig's List - check it out.
