    Coolant leak and P0174, related?

    I've had a small coolant leak on the front passenger side of my 4.0 SOHC that I can't find. Nothing serious yet, looks like just a small drip over the freeze plug there.

    Number 1 things to replace?

    Actually it was the idler that went. It started getting noisey earlier that week, so it didn't take long to go afterwards. Joe

    Number 1 things to replace?

    Don't get stuck like I did one night! :mad: I'd change the idler and tensioner pulley for the serpentine belt, pretty easy to do to! :D Joe

    Can anyone recommend a good shop to have an alignment done? I was using someone at a dealer but he has moved on. Winter driving is taking it's toll! :( Joe

    eBay recovered console lids

    Mine is starting to crack and peel big time! :( Searched around on eBay and saw a few places that will recover your lid for around $15. Just wondering if anyone has gone this route and what your opinion might be on them. Joe
