Steve- Going to have the wiring and suspension checked out. My father had two letters from Ford covering long term warranty issues for those two items. I guessing that the wiring is OK as the car was in Florida for 8 years (no salt on the road in the winter). May not get to Sayville Ford for another week or so. We're in car hell at home.
'91 Ford Explorer (245,000 miles)- We did the water pump and serpentine belt yesterday (bad pulley was chewing belt up). Doing clutch (slipping) and rear main seal (leaking badly) next week.
'71 Datsun 240Z (original 56,000 miles)- We started fixing blown head gasket last weekend. Stuck at the point of disconnecting the timing chain. Sending away for a repair manual tonight.
When I say we, I really mean my 19-year-old son. He's a budding master mechanic with two years of BOCES behind him. Looks like he'll be heading for automotive college next fall. I just supply the money and hand him the tools as he works. Good deal though!!
