    Under valve cover pics 09 Flex 146k

    2009 3.5L Ford Flex 146k miles. Rear valve cover gasket is shot and leaking quite a bit. Snapped these as the sun was going down. Cam lobes look new, some varnish but overall I am happy. We bought the car in 2012 with 45k. In the last 100k miles she has received whatever 5w20 or 5w30 was on...

    Truck and Tractor Museum in Richmond VA

    Went to the https://keystonetractorworks.com/museum/ yesterday just south of Richmond (visible from I-95). Absolutely incredible. Each tractor/vehicle is in near perfect condition. Hundreds of old tractors, dozens of 50's and 60's classic cars, trucks of all types. Definately worth a visit, even...

    Family friend had an oil leak and took their 2016 Escape to Manny and Moe. $1400 for the work on the attached estimate. All of this started less than 1 week after they took the car for an oil change to the same location. Friend claims there was no leak before the oil change. I have never heard...

    Mustang Diff acting up AGAIN

    My 07 Mustang GT had a really bad howling/whine a coupke of years ago. Went thru several NAPA reman rear ends before finally pulling a full rear end off a junkyard unit. That was a year ago and all has been good. This week I starting hearing a very slight howl again when I let off the gas at...

    Anyone live near San Antonio? Need help assessing car for sale.

    Looking at a screaming good deal on a used (around 60k miles) vehicle that is at Bluebonnet Ford in New Branfels. Not sure I can just take the word of the sales person that everything works and runs as it should. The carfax is perfect - oil changes at the dealer every 5k - and it is almost...

    today I pulled the air filter out for a quick visual inspection. I have used Fram air and oil filters hundreds of times over the past 30 plus years and never had a problem. Today=problem.

    loss of power 3x this morning

    This occured this morning on my 2007 Mustang GT 4.6L AT - When I start out in the morning I always turn the OD off since the local roads near my home have a 35 mph speed limit. While driving this morning on a relatively flat part of the road my car lost forward momentum (rpms seemed to stay...

    Pulsing/bumpy ride

    This problem is on my 2007 Mustang GT, Auto Trans, 102k miles. This problem is almost always present, but it seems to get much worse without any warning, sometimes it is hardly noticable. Cold weather seems to make it worse. There is a bumpy/shuddering feel when I go above 35 mph, above 60 it...

    Avett Brothers

    Just letting everyone here know that if you have never really listened to the Avett Brothers, you are missing out. Powerful life stories in the lyrics, harmony that is straight from Heaven, I cannot believe that it has taken me this long to find them. Literally dozens of songs that are "my...

    Rear End nightmare

    Last winter the rear diff on my 2007 Mustang GT started whining, got worse over the course of a couple of months so I bit the bullet and took her into the local Ford dealer. They wanted $2600 to rebuild the diff, I said your nuts. Went to a local trans shop and they said $2400 for a...

    STIHL blower 23 year review

    Many of those fancy websites have 30 day and 1 year reviews. Today I started up my Stihl BR400 for the 8 millionth time (not sure, just guessing). I DID buy this blower new in 1998 or 99, not sure which. I used it in my commercial lawn care biz where it saw daily use, sometimes 4-5 hours per day...
