Yesterday my fiancé's mom brought her 2021 Subaru Forrester with 41,000 miles on it over because the CEL had come on. There were many codes stored and in many different systems. Because of this and the fact that something had gotten up into their 2017 F350 last year and had chewed on wires sent...

Does anyone know a good place to get a re-man FICM for a Ford 6.0 diesel? My fiancé's dad thinks his is going out. Thanks.

My fiance's 2017 F150 with the 5.0L is due for a coolant change. It has the old orange coolant which is no longer available so I will use the new recommended yellow coolant. The system holds 15.9 quarts. From everything I have read, a radiator drain only gets out about 1.5 gallons. If I do a...

FordTechMakuloco just put out a new video about a 2018 F150 Limited that had water intrusion into the taillights which caused the vehicle to not start and run and the total repair to fix it was $5,600. Talk about crazy. Modules for the taillights were on national backorder but he was able to...

The other day when I went to drive the truck, I put it in gear and heard something clank in the rear. I didn't think too much about it but as I was driving, I periodically could hear a metallic sound coming from somewhere, but I thought it might be the large floor jack that was in the bed. I...

I was changing the spark plugs in my fiance's 94 Cavalier with the 2.2L. Two of the plugs came out easy. Two seemed stuck. I put penetrating fluid down in the hole and let it sit. One came out and the other did not. I let it sit longer and than tried again. Part of the plug came out but left the...

My sister texted me the other day saying that the dealer wanted to charge her over a $1,000 when she took in her 2019 BMW X3 with 17,000 miles. She took it in for an oil change and they said that she needed to have these other things done. Oil Change: $250 but they said they would give her a...

My daughter works next door to a repair shop. Her employer buys coupons for oil changes for the employees so she went and had them change her oil today. They also rotated her tires for free even though she didn't buy her tires there. That part all went fine. She has a 2010 Chevy Cobalt and two...

After messing around with a rusted brake line fitting on my car the other day and none of the penetrating oils working, I decided to get this stuff to try out in the future. I got to try it out today when my fiance's dad called me to help him get apart an AC line on his truck. It was the line...

The negative battery terminal connector keeps corroding on my 2014 Mustang. I've been using the CRC battery terminal cleaner and protector spray on both terminals and the felt pads that go around and under the connectors, but it doesn't seem to work for the negative side. I have had to clean...

The Rack and pinion steering is leaking on my fiancé's son's 2008 Ford Focus. It's leaking pretty good to the point that it was already low after driving 60 miles. It also ate the rubber out on the torque strut which is right under where it appears to be leaking. What is a good replacement brand...

The air compressor on my fiancé's farm recently blew a hole in the bottom and she is looking for a new one. The current one is old and is probably a 120 gallon or larger. It's one of the horizontal ones that her grandfather had installed many years ago. She doesn't really need one quite that...

I'm about to repair some of the wiring under the hood of my Mustang that was chewed off. I'm replacing three connectors. I keep reading differing opinions about each method. Some people say to never solder wires under the hood and only use crimp on connectors and others say to solder them. These...

Today we were driving back from vacation in my fiancé's 2017 F150 with the 5.0L. We turned on the AC and it was working great, ice cold. It had only been on for about 10 minutes and we heard a weird noise that I can't even describe. We thought maybe it was road noise from a car in front of us...

Needless to say, I was not happy. Cat hair and cat prints everywhere and cat crap down below this area. These are the connectors to the two passenger side VCT solenoids and the other picture is of the low pressure AC switch where the wires were chewed off to it which is below this same area. I...

Does anyone know of a source to get the gaskets that are on pretty much all connectors on a vehicle? They are like the green gasket in the picture in this link. Thanks...

I went to start my 98 chevy K3500 and it took several revolutions of the starter before it started but it sounded sluggish. It is in the teens temp wise. I checked the volage with my meter and it was at 12.23. I have a battery tester that I hooked up and it showed 12.18. The CCA were 383 with a...

Hi, is anyone familiar with the steering setup on this truck? The truck wanders all over the place and it's like there is a disconnect between the front wheels and the steering wheel. I bought this truck in 2007 with 94,000 miles and it now has 120,000 miles. Over the years I have had the...

I follow this guy on YT and he is very knowledgable about Ford products since he worked at a Ford dealer as a tech before opening his own shop. The second part of the video starting at about 3:40, talks about the new SP oil spec that was supposedly produced with the ecoboost in mind because of...

Is anyone here familiar with the ignition system on this car with the 2.2L. I just had to replace the ICM for the third time since early 2018. I also had to replace one coil. I had to replace the ICM one other time years ago and it lasted almost 100,000 miles. I'm not sure why these keep going...
