no these guys are on the up and up..they told me in order to fix it correctly they need to pull the engine. 42 and change. since the engine is our they may as well replace hoses, any belst ect...that would be another what? 2-5 hundred? on a side note the pass door needs its lock reg remplaced...$1200 cig lighter dose not work that is looking like another 5-6 hundred...see where I am going to get to $64500?

here is the kicker I have teal and tan intereior with a teal extierior...not seeing this collor combo in an '03...have you?

There is no oil leak on that engine that requires engine out, the absolute worst leak is the cam seals and those are done on the ground. You don't even need a lift...

So have I. I guess we agree to disagree.
