The little girl wasn't running well and would stumble on start up, I checked a lot of things but no computer check.
I tried a few things but it was still a little off.
I broke down and took her to a local guy, who isn't too bad on pricing but does decent work.
$700.00 later, yes $700.00, the fuel system was flush and purged, the injectors were all cleaned and tested, all fuel filters were changed along with the Double Platinum Plugs, new air cleaner, and a Mobile one Oil Change with Motorcraft filter. (there may have been a few other small things but that most of it) !
To say the least I did a back step, but I did expect to pay through the nose, because in the 10 years I have owned her I have done only the very basic work on her. The work wasn't performed until we had talked so it is my fault but the outcome is what matters.
I think I am driving a new truck, I would say that everything this guy did, although costly, was needed and believe it or not I am happy with the outcome.
The cost, well spread out over ten years and it really wasn't much. I do thank God I had the money to pay for it !
Lived up to your title eh? Lol.
I've paid people to do on my truck. Not that I couldn't for most of it, but they could better/quicker. Nothing wrong with NOT doing everything yourself.
