I serviced my neighbor's Yardman rider, what a pain. The whole front shroud plus the engine cover had to come off just to access the spark plug. I need to repair the air blend doors in my 05 Ram ctd, the whole dash needs to come out meaning discharging the a/c. My manual says this is not a job for the diy'er, i have been quoted $700.00
The serpentine belt is getting noisy but I am not sure how to get at that without removing the whole front clip. My winter beater, a 97 Ranger, needs a starter. I have done it before but it's not a fun job.
It's getting to a point where we run them for 5 years then send them to the scrap yard, too costly to repair.
