No the belt did not break. I don't know about the AC locking up.

No I drove the car locally and didn't exceed more 30 mins.

First I had the my lower ball joints replaced at Merchants. They figure it was the alignment at first and then told me I had one upper joint needing replacement. I replaced both and it improved. Had a tire replaced and alignment done at Sears Auto, the play returned. I also have the steering...

What were the finding on this issue? I'm experiencing play in my steering while driving as well. All started after getting the Ball joints and control arms replaced

I need to replace the PCV elbow tube for the second time. I bought the replacement from Ford but I don't want to make that mistake again. I would like something more durable, so what are my best options? I have 01 V6 w/ 175K mi

I thought it would be the elbow tube that pinched or caved in

In immediate need of parts and Maxx is on a two week hiatus. What's the routine when that happens?

Another status update: I have a transmission leak so that's the cause of my hesitation on take off after braking. Also, I found out my fluid is disgusting. $90 to flush

New Development: I'm sitting idle at 1000rpm and turned the Air Condition on and it immediately drops to almost shutting off. It then bounce back up to less than 1k rpm. What's the deal?

I have not changed my fluid yet. I have 120K so I guess its due. Give me an example of harsh engagement of reverse... Only time the car jerks is when I'm rushing it. FYI: I had a car accident on June 2nd and these problems came to light afterwards. Shop fail to fix b/c they said they were...

I'm definitely learning as I go. I'm unable to check transmission level fluid on a V6. And the hearing a rough idle on your car is heartbreaking. I found a shop to replace upper and lower gasket for $225 (just labor). Probably will complete it myself since I've taken the intake off before...

Cool More bad news though from dealership. I had a accident three week ago and my transmission did not hesitate when I put it in drive but now Its a hesitation. Insurance will not pay for it b/c Dealership is saying it is normal wear and tear. I'm thinking I need to flush transmission...

Dealership told me I need to replace upper and lower intake Gasket. 1. Do you have to go thru all those steps in tech article section just to remove intake to replace gasket? 2. Also, I didn't see instructions on replacing lower intake gasket so where can i find that? '01 Lincoln ls V6

Homeboy, your wheels look nakes with those rims showing so much rotor

you have watch who you're dealing with. They should stiff you and by charging more on the labor since you brought your own parts. Also, they most likely not back their own work b/c of that... See if you have Tru2form body shop near you, they do great work

Just get the damn car fixed and stop worrying about saving money for accessories. You're going to most likely get a piss poor job done screwing around
