Re: Simple brake job on '96 Explorer 4x4

The worst part is that this has been known for years, but it's still done. Earliest example I've seen is the sail panels on a Porsche 914 but I can't say that that is the very earliest... but anyway this was used as early as the late 60's so by the mid-70s this was a known issue :(

My water was extremely hard in the desert. I made the mistake of adding water two or three times in an older mustang. Started to overheat. I probably could have replaced the radiator, but you should use distilled anyway, anywhere. If you get a good rain period, then sun, dashboards can crack in one day.

My interior hoses did not last long at all. Had to replace water hoses after two years on a brand new vehicle. Sand in every nook a cranny, when I was redoing the car for a new paint job., from being in the desert just over two years.

right on cue.

senseless leg-humping driveling retard. "please steve, can i suck up to you and be your friend - the other children won't play with me."

No doubt about it. Body work is very expensive and has to be done RIGHT for things to look right. Mechanical stuff has to be done right of course but you generally don't need to be an "artist" to do the mechanicals, just have a good shop manual and some time.

You should killfile the guy. I did for him and Jim Beam and life is much nicer without them.

False dilemma. I don't want to replace it right now.

I don't know where you got the idea the goal is to drive this rig for the remainder of my life.

Do you see how your thinking is fallacious...?

What is your source of this information that you purport to know...?

What's the book on the job?

Another false dilemma.

So... this is something you recently discovered... and haven't previously reported tossing me into the bit bucket some hundred or so times...?

False dilemma...

False dilemma/s/s/s/s...

How's that killfile you've reported banishing me to some 50 times working out for you...? -----
