They'd never **** with you. No sir. Can't tell you a thing about Sears, sorry. Bit it does sound like an old story that's been repeated a lot. But I have seen a small indpendent shop really screw up something as simple as reinstalling a drain plug, so there are f...ups working everywhere. Fortunately they are in the minority. |

I changed the oil and a fram filter one day. On the first start after the change, I thought it was ok.. But, the next day I started it and had no oil pressure. And.. It wouldn't build up either.. I thought my oil pump was out. I shut it off, and restarted, and it finally came up to pressure after a few more seconds. Yanked the filter, and replaced with a FL1A and never had the problem again. Orange fram filters and many six bangers don't play well together. MK |
