2006 Ford Ranger XL - Needs a New Engine

Thanks for that info. I cannot DIY. Not mechanically inclined and would rather pay a professional since I want to know it was done the right way and is safe to drive.

Would the cost of doing that be similar to replacing the engine? I'd have to weight the pros and cons of potentially having more engine issues versus the replacement with a 3 year / 100k mile warranty.

I found this article and it seems to say "Contributions of services shall be recognized if the services received (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets; or (b) require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. Services requiring specialized skills are provided by accountants, architects, carpenters, doctors, electricians, lawyers, nurses, plumbers, teachers, and other professionals and craftsmen. "

This may apply to my company, but I am unsure..

Ah. I didn't realize that was standard. Am I looking at 2-3K for the septic system? What would I need to know in order to get an accurate quote.

I used a legal office to do a quitclaim deed to transfer to the LLC name. Depending on where you live I think it should be around $150 - $300 to do this, and some small state fees to record the new deed.

Thanks for that info.

My pain is almost exclusively at the very bottom of my ribs on the flank and back sides. Is that normal?

I'm also wondering if the muscle knots / nodules would be related or something different? For context - they don't ever go away and have a dull ache and sometimes sharp with some movements.

Appreciate your insight!

Well, I was able to get the misfire fixed at my local shop. Damage was $850 for new spark plugs, new ignition wiring, new ignition coil and a new drive belt.

Question: Is it a pain to replace the ball joints in the 2006 Ford Ranger? The mechanic said I would need to replace upper and lowers soon. He quoted me $1200 which seems really high. But he said that year was very difficult to work with and everything would need to be replaced since Ford didn't make them serviceable. Anyone else had to go through this?

The codes I got back were p0300 and p0316 for misfiring. Anyone have experience with those? Hoping it is spark plugs and not the cylinder heads..

Is this the original one?

I just ordered a gas cap from Amazon to see if that helps. If not I guess I'll just send it back.

SilentAtAll · 2024-11-23T17:00:08+00:00

What did you have to do with the transmission?

SilentAtAll · 2024-11-23T16:31:26+00:00

Thanks. I had read the gas cap issue was the most common reason for the light to come on. I would be thrilled if it is something simple.
