There are a many things I can do on my own. However there are times when having a pro perform the work makes sense to me. I will not work on my brake system or tear down any of the major driveline components. Too important to leave to this shade tree mechanic. A pro will be able to do the work...
I'm presently going through the cooling system on my M1009. It's becoming an example of the domino effect. Found a hole in the heater hose. Both hoses were lined with rust colored crud. Decided to flush out the heater core and found what looks like mud. Decided to flush the radiator. Opened...
