Good idea, sorry.

Problem one: Transmission slipping terribly.
Fix: full rebuild and upgrades to 4l60e.

Problem 2: Random shutdown when hot while driving, cutoff while driving.
Fix: Replace Optispark, Artic Silver 5 ICM, new plugs and wires, new optispark harness(best price from NewEgg.com)
Also went with a lifetime warranty opti from advanced.

Overheated: burped and bled the coolant system along with new waterpump.

Problem: Fuel pump not priming/no power to the fuel pump sometimes. Also fuel level read full when it wasn't.
Fix : redo some wiring behind the back seat.
