If you can not even figure out where the motor is than you have no business working on it.

Take it to Mr. Goodwrench.

Have the problem verified than buck up and pay up.

To: right way right

Dood got it done. Might have voided his warranty, but...

With all the egr and weird electrical stuff on newer rigs, things that used to be obvious ain’t so much anymore.

Years ago, my wife had a leak in her Geo. I crawled underneath and it was obvious it was coming from the oil filter. She took it in and they said it “might” be the tranny.

I got fed up, had to jack it up and block it because it was only about 4 inched off the ground, and pulled the filter. There was a tiny piece of ground metal under the oil filter ring. Coulda cranked that thing tight until hell froze over and it would have never sealed - NEVER.

So I took the filter back to 13 Monkeys Lube and Tune or whatever and asked to talk to the manager.

This pimply faced kid about 13 comes out and I hand him the filter in a plastic bag and explained I would never come back to the joint.

He hands me a new filter and I was outa there.

So it’s easy to say to take it to some professional but when they make a mistake you start to change yur tune...

But I have to admit unless it’s something simple like changing plugs or an alternator or whatever, I don’t like working on newer stuff, because unless you have the machine to read the codes, you might end up SOL.
