    I wouldn't worry. I've had nothing but positive experiences, from only replacing the condensers. It's only when you leave the bad ones in service too long is when other components down the line start to fail, through overloading. If you're not living in a wealthy neighborhood, you'd be surprised at how much money you could make repairing just about anything of which has a board computer that customers find worthwhile keeping. Older household machines which have relatively few service hours, for instance. When the parts cost no more than two dollars total for a board computer which goes for around three hundred, it's not difficult to talk a customer into saving the machine

    Looks fantastic! Factory stock even. Will certainly help bring many more smiles per gallon.

    I changed the oil (from both drain plugs) and filter then drove it 30 miles. I remember what I love about the Wagons once again.

    I a rebuilt steering box in. I changed the rear end with used one I put in new bearings and seals. I fixed the air duct hose going to the air cleaner. My son and I finally figured out the wiring to get the alarm to lock and unlock the doors. I am embarrassed to say how many hours it took to figured that out. Another ford idea they made way more complicated then it had to be

    Fixed the rough idle by adjusting and seating my spark plugs!
