Nice to see all these bold statements....
A C-note to hook up the scan tool? Those guys are ballsy.... Why, anyone
with nearly 10G tied up in one scan tool would insist on recouping their
investment is beyond me... I do free **** every day and do not expect to
get
paid..... Come on, folks... raise your hands and say "that's me....
that's
me...".
Seeing that Ford dealers are held in such low regard, I guess my job here
is
done....
Have fun with it, folks....
BTW... if anyone has a 99 Explorer with a vacuum modulator from factory,
I'll pay top bucks for the faulty one....
