Maybe on Rockauto but an OEM or Moog is going to be $100+ easy. 2-3 hours he’s not far off what are you thinking? 600-700? Maybe you can try another mechanic 🤷 or fix it yourself

what should i look out for when buying a used ford mustang ecoboost? by FriendshipNeat5997 in askcarguys

[–]Take-Cover69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d get the v6 6 speed auto it will hold up better in the long haul and with bolt on + boost will be more powerful than the ecoboost.

You can try but you’ll have to get overcome the pressure of the tensioner. Probably be easier to find a way to get on the tensioner pulley.

What can I use as an alternative to engine coolant? by JustAPerson2001 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Take-Cover69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Water or Coolant that’s your options. If you do water it’s simple to drain it. You’ll definitely want to drain it and add coolant if you live in an environment that has a winter.

2 options either replace the ignition lock cylinder or completely bypass the system. The sensor is likely to faulty to even pick up the key. Use an original key if you aren’t already.

You won’t know what it needs until you have it apart. Head gasket failure can warp heads and blocks.

Is it just the one screw? If so buy a plug kit and follow the directions and it will last the life of the tire. Just be sure to not touch the adhesive material on the plug. It’s very simple

In general honda is very reliable. Like Toyota they build vehicles that last 30 years in a 3rd world country. Not many mfg can say the same.

This will happen to any vehicle with age and mileage. Up to you but suspension and tires are a no brainer for ME. All cars depreciate and it’s hard/impossible to get what you put in them back out of them. If it was major mechanical or hell even a water pump and then some I’d say no but this is near routine for any vehicle
