I was just thinking about the my fuel pump. I need to drop my fuel tank when I start working on my frame and debating if I should go ahead change the pump while have it out.
Years ago, I had a Taurus and the oil filter was directly above the starter. I used some cardboard as a funnel. I was definitely unprepared for this oil change. LOL.
I do like those but the drain plug wasn't a problem. When I dropped the oil filter the oil that was in the filter was leaking out everywhere. But, ya it would help if I didn't drop it. lol.
I just did my first oil change on a 4runner. A bit of a pain in the ass but not the worst oil change Ive ever done. That honor probably goes to my MIL's Ford Escape. Anyway, took me awhile to find the oil filter and of course I dropped it on top of the skid plate. Of course now I have oil...
Wow, there were a couple for sale in Central IL at two different dealerships not too long ago for half that. Similar mileage but I think they were both 2004 IIRC.
Same thing happened to me about a year ago in my Corolla. A meth head in a stolen SUV wanted to share lanes going down the interstate at 75 MPH. Did about 8K in damage to my car. Some how I spun him around backwards and I managed to stay straight and slid into the ditch. Of course he drove off...
I just started learning how to weld too. Right now I'm welding my welding cart. Eastwood has some really good tutorial videos
