 The question this morning is the same that was asked of Peter Gibbons by the Bob twins in "Office Space". "We're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work...so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?". Peter then responds "Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work". Given you are reading this blog right now and happen to not be working at the moment, go ahead and check out our blogs from last week. Then during that hour after lunch ask yourself, how many minutes of actual work do I do?

 In research conducted by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (also known as "SEMA"), even after a 32% drop in new-pickup truck sales last month, SEMA found a one percent increase in automotive enthusiasts' demand for customizing their pickup trucks. This just means that owners are keeping their trucks longer due to the increase in price for new pickup trucks, as well as fuel costs. More importantly, the light-truck segment of the automotive market has been on the rise for several years, accounting for 42.3 percent of manufacturer sales in 2007 alone. Maybe there really is light at the end of the tunnel?

Keeping your truck's automatic transmission properly maintained and cool is a key component to extending the longevity of your transmission's life. Fortunately, maintenance is relatively simple for automatic transmissions as there isn't much that will need to be addressed except replacing the fluid and filters. Automatic transmissions are essentially a series of clutch packs that are connected to drive gears and controlled by fluid pressure. When the fluid is too hot it loses viscosity and can prematurely wear the clutch packs in the transmission causing excessive debris and more heat, making the problem worsen.
