The only way to the job right, is to have the right equipment. With the Ford F350 to properly gain access to the engine compartment you need to have a body lifter that specifically can lift the Ford F-350 body so the technicians can have easy access to make sure every part is replaces properly. Without this access many mechanics cannot get proper angles to verify nuts, bolts and other engine parts a properly and securely fastened.

3 Tips for Handling an Auto Breakdown Emergency
Even with the high levels of automotive technology today, vehicle breakdowns are still inevitable. No one knows when their vehicle will break down or where they will be when it happens. When it does happen, it is unexpected and most people are not prepared to handle it properly. Many become confused because they do not know what to do next. Therefore, here are 3 tips that will assist you in making the right moves when your car breaks down on the road: 1. Move your vehicle to safety Unless your vehicle comes to a complete stand-still when breaking down, it is important to move it as far away from the road as possible. To ensure you and other motorists are safe, it is better to move your vehicle to the far side of the road or to the emergency lane of the freeway. If your car does completely break down on the spot, try pushing it out of danger’s way with the help of other people. Throughout the entire process, be sure to keep your hazard lights on to notify other motorists that your vehicle is not in motion. Once you have moved your vehicle to safety, make sure you and all other passengers wait for help in a safe location as well. This can be inside the vehicle if it is in a safe spot. 2. Call for help immediatelyIf your car is blocking traffic or you feel unsafe, you should call 911 as soon as your car breaks down. This way, help can quickly be on the way. If you are on the freeway, you will be given priority and a unit will be sent to take care of the situation as well as direct traffic.When driving, it is a good idea to have a means of communication with you, such as a cell phone. This way, you can call someone immediately whenever you are in need of help. Otherwise, you will need to find the nearest available phone, which is not always an easy task. 3. Find out your exact location It is important to know exactly where you are because it will be easier and quicker for the help to arrive. Therefore, it may be a good idea to have a map or GPS system handy at all times. Also, check for landmarks when travelling long distances so you can give an even better idea of your location in break down situations.

Ensuring an Awesome Summer with Good Car Maintenance
There’s no doubt about it—most Americans do more driving during the summer than any other time of the year, so it pays to make sure your car is properly maintained. The last thing you want on a summer trip is to have major repairs throw a wrench into your vacation plans! In order to make sure this doesn’t happen to you, we’ve provided a basic checklist to know what to check on your car before heading out to hit the open road.The Basics of Car Maintenance Do a tire check. This is more than just making sure they stay properly inflated. It would include the following Look for wear on the tread of the tires. If it seems uneven, your tires may not be properly aligned. Take it in to fix this if you notice uneven tread. Look for smooth or “bald” spots on your tires. The tires should be replaced immediately to avoid a more dangerous and costly issue. Tire pressure. Check the pressure of your tires weekly and inflate them as needed. This affects your gas mileage, so take it seriously! Keep an eye on the check engine light and the engine belts. The engine belt is a crucial part of car maintenance! It controls every operating system in your car. It’s a snowball effect with how it works, moving from one system to the next. If one belt fails to operate correctly, it can affect the overall function of the car. Check for cracking on the engine belts from time to time. The hot temperatures can cause all rubber components to crack, so they need to be maintained. The good news here is that these engine belts are easy to replace yourself and they don’t cost a lot. Car maintenance experts say the belts should be replaced every 36,000 miles. Check the battery. It’s not just winter that can kill a car battery. Summer’s heat can wreak havoc on a battery and the chemicals inside, so check your battery often. Following are some hot weather tips for your battery: Keep terminals connected securely. Keep the battery clean and brush away any corrosion. Use a paste of water and baking soda to clean the connections, or take it in to your mechanic. Maintain the cooling system. The most common thing to happen with the AC or cooling components is to see leaks. If there is neon green liquid dripping out, then you have a leak. You can check the radiator to see if there is adequate fluid. There should be at least a half gallon of cooling fluid in the radiator. Cracks in your car’s hoses can also cause leaks. Even if you don’t yet see a leak, it can save you huge headaches if you go ahead and replace cracked hoses now. Good car maintenance can’t be stressed enough, especially in the hot summer months! Just stay on top of these steps and you will save yourself big hassles and big money!
