What do you guys use to clean your copper watering cans?

being 15 years old even with the extreme low mileage I would have your timing belt looked at. At this point your fighting age vs miles and rubber isnt know for aging well, and if that thing snaps, you have an interference engine and it would cause catastophic engine failure. Just worth having it checked. Tech tip of the week. . .

Thanks for that bit of information It goes to the shop for oil and inspection on the 21st and I called and added it to his list. Been going there several years as they are the oldest truck repair place in the area.

I have a 1999 Ford Pickup, under 16,000 original miles, ...

I put about that much mileage in about 6 months on my car.

Took it in today, Inspection, Oil change, and when I asked about the belt he told me the 2.0l has rubber and my 4.0l has the chain. I asked him to please check for any other hoses, belts or whatever might be needed. He found that the Serpentine belt was honestly VERY CLOSE to breaking and replaced it! Thanks so much for the advise as it really saved me some problems either way.

Not a prob I'm glad he caught it. I forgot to ask if it was a v6 and assumed it was a 4cyl. Take care of it and it could easily be Ur grandkids one day. I inherited both my greatgrand father's and my grandpa's truck and that wouldn't have happened without proper maintenance.

Happy growing,
