Why They Charge $700 For Ball Joints on an Aerostar
OK. So a while back I took my 1993 Ford Aerostar to be inspected and it got dinged because she needed to have her Upper Ball Joints Replaced. So I got a great big REJECTED sticker for my troubles.
Truth be told...I had a feeling this might be the case, because I'd replaced the lower ball-joints back in 2007, and WANTED to change the uppers then...
...it just looked like a bit more work than I was ready for at the time.
So, since I was not working today, I jumped up this morning, cleaned a little, straigthened a little, and got started on this mechanics job at about noon...
...and the next thing I knew? It was dark...
What the F^cK is a T&P Valve?
So I went out to the garage to complete work on the engine from my beloved 95 4-Runner
after a 4 month hiatus(Head Gasket issues with complications)...
....when I discovered water all over the garage floor in various stages of pooling and puddling.
Ummm...what's going on here?
So I went over to the water heater for a closer look...and discovered water coming out of a long tube running down the side of the thing.
Above the tube is a valve coming out of the water heater...
