Looked the 6 over tonight.

Looked my car over tonight at my mechanic’s shop and the belt tensioner is indeed done for like the dealership said it was. It is a liquid-filled unit, or at least it was. Now, it’s all dirty and covered in grease from leaking.
Ordered a Gates tensioner and both belts from RockAuto for $98. We will put them in next week sometime.
And yes, I mean “we.” My mechanic is my daughter’s godfather and a childhood friend of mine. He teaches me car stuff as we go along. I didn’t grow up with a dad to help me with this stuff or teach me.

I wish I had a mechanic to work along with in a similar way! I just learn what I learn online or from folks like you!
All I have are ramps at home and, as the driveway is a slight hill...I feel leery of using a jack on it
-
@rallydarkstrike Where theres a will, theres a way
Ramps feel less safe then jackstands imo though. Maybe as the Hyundia gets on in rust you can take some risks fixing and making mistakes. -
@rallydarkstrike I’m blessed to have the friends that I do. They have a full shop with a lift! And it’s only 2 miles from my house.

"My mechanic is my daughter’s godfather"
This goes way beyond trusting your mechanic, I don't think there is anyone you could trust more haha

@bylan-hoarder-of-ls400-s Exactly! Haha.
