So I finaly fixed the A/C, new belt, replaced the Track bar and the Tie rod end at the pittman arm. $900 in parts and about $900 in labour. That includes a new compressor and an allignment. My big discovery is that the dealership can be alot cheaper than the auto parts stores. So I provided the parts to the mechanic: they didn't like it but I saved about $400.

 

Yep, cheeper than that is doing it yourself, which is what I do anymore. Because If you do it yourself, then you can either save that extra 900 or throw it into parts, or getting even better parts. If you felt so inclined, spend a few bucks on a repair manual, it pays for itself many times over. I usuially just guess and it works out well if thats your thing.

 

hey 1980blackfiveoh.... click on your link and got this from my antivirus WinFixer ...WinFixer is a Security Risk that may give exaggerated reports of threats on the computer. The program then prompts the user to purchase a registered version of the software in order to remove the reported threats... [:@]

 

Thats weird... When I click on it, it takes me to cardomain as it should. I hate computers.

 

Took me to the cardomain too (nice Mustang by the way).

 

Thats weird !!! tried again and was able to see the stang..nice by the way..

 

Thanks. That's my baby... and I've done most of the work myself- mechanical to paint. I contract out most of the work on the ram because I hate buying all theoddball tools that I'll never use again and it is too big for my garage. I can dissasemble half of my 'stang with a phillips screw driver, 1/2 and a 9/16th wrench and I have room to work on it in my garage.

 

lol, thats true. the stang is real sweet btw. always did like the 4 eyes.
