Well it's great that I didn't go. Instinct saved me as I talked to a mechanic this morning who got same call. He talked to the customer and he stated AAA put a battery in and key fob won't unlock doors, however it does run. He sent pop a lock out to them as he didn't want to be in the middle of...

The point of me saying no was someone replaced battery, probably AAA then new battery won't start car. Was told keys need to be programmed to new battery.

I got a call from my daughter who works in hospitality industry, about a couple that had a problem with a Chrysler 200. Customer stated that after battery replacement vehicle wouldn't start and security lights were on. Since I have a scanner I could use it to get them going and if not then they...

If I get to the point of not walking and legs giving out, then yes. Doctors wanted me to have neck surgery at the two month recovery and I said no. I am a believer that you leave well enough alone until you have no choice. I learned to live with a high tolerance for pain, however the falls and...

I would gladly pay 228 for a new engine. My niece had a 2012 Kia Forte and when it was stolen, it had over 200k on original engine and transmission. Transmission was slipping and engine sounded like it was going to blow but wouldn't. 5w20 Pennzoil once it got low enough lol.

Wishing you all the best with recovery. I had my fusion in 2010 which was told same time frame. Rest is key for first month then working back to normal. I didn't get comfortable for 2 years then woke up one morning and couldn't believe how good I felt. Been almost 14 years and now it feels like...

In my Pontiac 400 I used 10w40 however I don't remember which plug. I remember having to use premium fuel.

I went to get a replacement for my Oldsmobile and they didn't know how to warranty battery so they called a manager. Then I was told they needed to charge it up and I had to come back during normal automotive hours. I had to purchase a new battery then go in next day for them to credit me. They...

I already have mine. Simplicity for a Grand Caravan as it's a SE. Parts are plentiful and cheap. Love that I can put used modules with little effort. Bought in 18 at 3k and at 34k. Keep maintenance up and it will last. I know you said over 100k however there alot out there over 200k.

Bought filters at Walmart for under 3.00 on clearance, so I bought all they had for my van. The oil was 1.00 a quart at Tractor supply on clearance however, all they left was 0w20 so I bought all they had. 6.00 for oil and 3.00 for filter.

I got everyone beat. Yearly oil changes at clearance Shell Rotella 0w20 and Mobil One oil filter. That is less than 10.00 so in 6 years 60.00 spent on oil changes. 😆

This guy seems honest. I have watched some of his videos and he is not afraid to say I was wrong and customer won't pay for my mistakes.

Yes I know what hacking is. Have you ever logged into the dealers servers? If all keys required this then it would be more challenging as you would need to know each manufacturer web address enter the vin. There is more on some such as Ford that only allow dealer techs for some procedures. All...

No. Putting online means you have to log into the manufacturers website and pay their fees just like module reprogram. I think this in reality would be better. Criminals aren't going to pay 50 to a manufacturers server to get keys reprogrammed. This same guy on YouTube showed how easy it is to...

All that is going to do is give manufacturers a reason to put key coding online, then you have to register.

That was my point this morning. We are supposed to be a right to repair if we own our vehicle, however according to him to many thefts so consumers have to pay the price. The consideration is maintenance should be the only right to repair. People have been fighting this for years. If I want to...

I just read that within 6 months this volunteer organization will lock down key makes. "NASTF’s aftermarket scan tool validation program is coming soon. As soon as 45-60 days, you will need a NASTF VSP ID to use a scan tool to perform security functions including: Add a key All keys lost...

Never use Maxlife in that transmission. ZF fluid only.

That mower had cam release problems. Turn engine by hand until it feels free, then try to start. If it turns over enough it will start. Solenoid problems are common.

Did valve adjustment and yearly maintenance on my X350 from the kit 61.5 hours
