Skinflint always meant cheap skate around these parts? Better be careful where you are when you say this word if it means the other meaning?

Rather B.Blown

Yes, it does. Tightwad, cheapskate, etc. Pretty much describes me, lol.


Why am I not surprised, lol.
Exactly, lol.

I think there are websites for that too.

That was your brain playing tricks on you. Its so used to fantasizing about playing the skinflute that it automatically went there.

Hey Al, did you see this vid I posted in the Random Pic thread? I thought you would really get a kick out of it.

Sure did, everyone was driving 30 down the highway, foot of snow overnight, them some of it melted and turned to ice by morning, car getting stuck in parking lots.

I just cruised right by them
Surprisingly very few accidents

AlsCobra

that's good stuff right there.

Gave the blower motor on the explorer a good whack and it started right up again. Think I'm gonna have to replace it. Doesn't look too difficult. Not sure if I should go with motorcraft or get something else. Motorcraft is $75 on amazon and I can have it tuesday.

If I told you to go with something else and it broke would you blame me?

kcoTiger

If he's smart he'd just bill you. Baller.

Blue Notch

Of course.

Looks like they're $39 at Autozone, but that is just the motor. You have to use your wheel from the old one. I like to buy Motorcraft parts too, but I'm afraid to order stuff like that online because of of all the counterfeit and bootleg **** that is out there these days. I buy all my parts from a locally owned parts store. A little more expensive sometimes, but they'll take care of me if something ****s up with it.

I went out and looked at mine, seems pretty straight forward. Looks like you'll have to remove the cruise control assembly to get to it but its just one bolt through the fender that holds the bracket, then you can just sit it to the side.

I'd watch that gasket that seals the motor assembly to the air box, looks like it might tear apart when you take it off. Don't know where you'd get one of those, might have to go the Ford dealer for that.

The people at the parts stores around here aren't very friendly. They act like you're messing up their day by asking for a part. And it's not just some young kid. It's usually some older guy. I prefer just not having to deal with them if I don't have to. And they don't have any in stock anyways.

Ya, it doesn't seem too hard. Just need to find a time when it's not freezing to do it.

I will say... I finally had to return something to Amazon. I couldn't believe how easy it was. No questions asked, sent me a return label at no cost, refund to my card pronto as soon as the return label was scanned.

Rather B.Blown

I've never had any problems returning stuff to Amazon.

AlsCobra

I would just go pick one up locally. I tend to avoid autozone whenever possible. I've had good luck with O'reileys. The job should be real easy. Just 3-4 screws and unplug it. It's pretty simple and aftermarket is just as good. All the motors are made by the same couple companies anyways.

AlsCobra

I try and only order from amazon. Even if I can find it slightly cheaper on another site. They make life real easy.

Rather B.Blown

Same here. If I have to go to a chain store for some reason it'll be O'reillys or NAPA. I don't buy **** at Autozone or Advance.

GottaHaveIt

Rather B Blown best talk to that kid of yours, gee he gets a new Mustang and now he's sounding like an angry old fart ??
