See if your state has an insurance commission. Take the issue to them. They should back you. When they see you have the state involved they may settle quickly. I'm in Virginia and I have talked to a state commission office. They want to back the residents was my take. Let us know how it turns out.

Van has 120k miles on it. It drives well and transmission shifts good for now. It has had a couple of transmission fluid changes over the years. Could use another change to hopefully keep it going.

Where can I get a kit for $200?

Yes, compressor is on the bottom. But it is not as open as the Taurus. There are videos of clutch removal from Taurus compressor and it's not bad. On Windstar I would need to access from above where it is much less open. Yes, van is old, But $1500 for shop replacement is too much. I might try...

Clutch bearing has failed in 2001 Ford Windstar. Can the bearing be replaced without disconnecting the lines and removing the compressor from the vehicle? I know I need to take the compressor loose, just not sure I can position it to access the clutch. If it needs to be removed I will have to...

Getting my in-laws van current on its maintenance. Coolant hadn't been change in a LONG time, as evidence by the state of the coolant. Wondering how far I should go with a flush. I plan to flush with water until water is clear. Then should I run some coolant flush like Prestone Radiator Flush...

I returned a Wix made in US six filter that had too few threads. Threads were dirty and poorly cut. The replacement was made in Mexico I think and looked much better thread wise. Of course the guts of the filter are what counts.

DT has been great for me. They have made a couple of minor mistakes, but the manager has rectified quickly. Regarding TPMS, when the sensor batteries started dieing in my 2010 Camry a few years ago I bought a used TST system of eBay and installed. It has screwon cap sensors. I now can see my...

Sorry, should have checked. On Rockauto I see two lines of Mevotech, with one called "Supreme". My guess is my friend bought the Supreme.

You bought the HD part? What was bad about it?

A friend got the Mevotech idler and pitman arms. Said they were way too tight, and of questionable quality. Does Mevotech have two lines of parts, like Moog does?

So are you saying the US made Moog HD part is as bad as the Chinese made parts?

Just came across this post of a broken Moog pitman arm stud. Had just bought a MOOG K6536HD Pitman Arm from Walmart.com for $40. Box says made in US. The part looks good but not sure that means much anymore. So I'm wondering, have the US made Moog HD parts become poor quality, or is it just the...

Last US made Wix had short threads and burrs. Mexico filter looked better. Embarassing.

And for future reference, at how many miles should oil be changed (more often than the maintenance reminder light I assume)? Same thing with CVT, how often?

Sister-in-laws car. Checked her oil and it was barely on the dipstick. Maintenance reminder light was on and she said been meaning to get oil changed, so who knows how long that has been on. I need to help her out, so here's what I see: • Change oil & filter. Can I use Valvoline Restore and...

It is a Chevrolet Express 3500. I think the E-350 is the Ford van prior to the Transits.

Need to replace Pitman arm on 2006 Express 3500. Current arm is Moog K6536 installed in 2013. I see Moog has a K6536HD. Description states it is a more robust design. https://www.rockauto.com/info/11/MOOG_PS_Bulletin_214001_Idler_Pitman_Arm_ENG-R.pdf Seeing reports that Moog parts are junk...

Did a BG EPR treatment before latest oil change. Now on 2nd Valvoline Restore and Protect fill. Noticed that the very minor VVTi tick at startup has gone away. Not sure how much is from BG versus Valvoline Restore and Protect, or the combination. Will see if the minor oil usage improves. I...
