[QUOTE="someotherguy, post: 24605, member: 6178"] I'd not be excited about working on that disposable POS, either. Reminds me of when my wife had her Explorer. The only redeeming quality it had was the 5.0 V8. Otherwise, although it was apparently well-cared for by the previous owner, everything went wrong with it and was a nightmare to work on. Just doing the radiator was a huge job that took nearly my entire day, in comparison, you can do one on a GMT400 in a couple hours TOPS. Each time I had to fix something on that Explorer I wanted to do so with a can of gas and some matches. Speaking of the heat, it's been in the mid 90's and 70%+ humidity, and even hotter on some days (we had a few last week that were officially 100-101F) and it's put a real damper on my willingness to go out to the garage and do anything. Wednesday, I managed to procrastinate literally -all day- and finally went out there around midnight!! I think whenever I can find a place we're going to buy, the garage is getting an A/C unit..
