Stuck oil filter
Probably not. I was hanging on the wrench with all of my 181 lbs and it would not budge.- Petesexpy

Stuck oil filter
For the first time in 13 years I was unable to remove oil filter (4.6L engine). I tried the regular oil filter wrench and would not budge. At certain point, the wrench just started sliding with filter not budging. It was hard to remove before, but I was never stuck like this. There is no space...- Petesexpy

Electrical Gremlins
I was going to suggest ground. Also, it is known that a windshield leak corrodes the chassis electronic module located on the left side in driver's foot well. Check that first.- Petesexpy

How complete of a coolant flush is needed?
I did just the rear heater core flush on mine last Sunday using a 3-gallon bucket. Took 18 gallons and only the last bucket was free of rust. I ended up pinching the garden hose and releasing the pulse of water after my 3rd bucket was clear. Took additional 2 buckets to clear. And that's every...- Petesexpy

How complete of a coolant flush is needed?
How long did it take you to take the dash apart, and how difficult was it? I'm thinking of doing the odometer repair, but somehow I'm not feeling up to it....- Petesexpy

How complete of a coolant flush is needed?
Yes, that's exactly what I do and what I would suggest doing for your front heater core as well. disconnect hoses and flush it out. I think that this year I will flush it both ways, and maybe replace the coolant as well.- Petesexpy

How complete of a coolant flush is needed?
My front heater core got plugged 5 years ago. That's when I learned that A) the rear heater core can be replaced in 2 easy hours, B) The rear heater core is sufficient to keep the car warm down to -10F outside temp (the only time i'm in trouble is during a heavy snowfall or freezing rain), and...- Petesexpy
