replacement

My dad went to a mechanic to have the engine light checked and possibly fixed. We have a Ford explorer 2013, with about 201974 miles on it. Do you guys think he overpaid for these service? They did test it and run a "smoke test". So maybe it wasn't just the replacement that was charged but the...

Well, 230k miles and the timing chain gave out on my '03 4.0L without warning. I'd like to put a used engine back in the car, already have the old one out, and figure $800 or less for an engine with under 150k miles is worth it, and for sure put new gears, chain, and tensioners in it. I'm pretty...

Like many people, I had to do this project in my driveway with some basic tools. I have about $300 in the whole project, not including the tools. I bought full panels at $125 each on amazon. I have another $50 in paint, primer, rustproofing, undercoating (all aerosol spray cans). You can use...

I think it's been at least two years since the oil leaked out of my rear struts. There was an annoying squeak every time I went over the smallest bump but sometime in the last two years the squeak went away...LOL! I'm going to replace the rear struts with quick struts. Specifically, the...

Hello, everyone. I recently discovered that I have an exhaust leak just behind the O2 sensor on my 2000 OHV. I've seen videos of this repair on other vehicles and it seems straightforward. I'm just wondering if the stock bolts unscrew, or if they're welded on and have to be cut off. I'm seeing a...

I'm glad I love my Explorer. Last week I replaced the thermostat housing to get rid of the jet engine in my engine bay. I can't believe how loud it was now that the cooling fan isn't working overtime. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_k1KQq_FukTzR1VDFZeEQ1czA/...

My wife called me and told me she got a flat. Turns out she didn't get a flat, she had a blowout. She hit a pothole and blew the tire. So we need to replace the tire. I'd hate to waste a perfectly good tire on the other side if I don't have to. I'd like to buy one, but my dad always told me...
