RE:
Do I really need a lift no but I will not be getting any younger
Make that another one of us considering a lift. Had to pull auto tranny (4l60) last week and reinstall.
It get old real fast when you get to mid 70's getting up off the floor with car on just ramps to get a tooll.
Plus, even 5 years ago could still manhandle 150# up into place by hand back onto an engine with guy bolts, hard to even lift a tranny off the ground nowadays with the torque converter attached!
I'd likely weld up my own lift if I ever decide I need one.
Other option is grandkids are in 20's or teens. Half the time the work is on one of their cars, need to have them over as helper and student vs. just dropping the car off at grandpa's?
DW's favorite option is to quit buying every 'good deal' truck for under $400 I see on Craigslist. <G>
