Just found the site and am looking forward to getting help with technical problems from others that can teach me how to troubleshoot and repair. It's fun and neccessary to maintain your own vehicles.

This is a GREAT site to get info on problems with your vehicle(s). And while I agree with your quote about it being "fun and necessary to maintain your own vehicles,"I find it is getting harder and harder each year with the newer vehicles to do so. I've worked on my own vehicles over 20 years now, and just hate to do some of the tasks on my newer vehicles that were so easy to do on my older ones. I've owned close to 20 vehicles in that number of years, and while I find that these newer ones are more reliable, they are definitely harder to work on and diagnose problems.That's where this site has become a valuable reference tool for us DIYers.
