If you have a question, ask it. We aren't mindreaders.

Im confused, what are we looking at? Do u have an issue and want opinions if you should take it to the dealership or are u showing us that u shouldn't be afraid to get ur hands dirty from time to time and do it yourself?

Well, you're braver than me. I stick with the simple stuff and leave the rest to the dealer. Believe me I wish I could do what you're doing. I just know my limits.

Stay safe with Sandy rolling in.

I am a Senior fellow and I am with Anita on this one. My Dad taught me two things in situations like these.

1. It is a wise man who recognizes his limitations.
2. Sometimes the best tool in your tool box is your checkbook.

As I get even older the checkbook comes into play more and more.
