I used a piece of cardboard on my parking spot until I had all the leaks fixed. Fixing all the leaks was frustrating and cost thousands but it's been totally dry since.

It catches you by surprise sometimes.

On extremely slippery black ice at highway speeds my van likes to go instantly, wildly sideways at the slightest provocation. It's because the rear end is too light when the van is empty. It's a good tip to throw a few sandbags or something to add weight in the back as well as running your tires a l...

I would like the floor mat fexlboi. Please let me know where I can come and pick it up.

I had a leak from the front crankshaft seal and the oil did not spread to the belts and pulleys. I also had a leak from the gasket behind the housing that contains the front seals.
