My name is Melissa, and I have had some problems with my vehicle
and I am trying to find an answer, or explanation about one
question. I own a 1988 Ford Bronco 2, and I took it to my
mechanic because it had very low oil pressure. He said that the
crankshaft, lifters, oil pump, and timing chain all needed
replaced. Well, he did the repairs, and I picked up my vehicle 3
days later. Very shortly after, the water pump started leaking.
The engine (2.9) had gotten hot a few times and now my mechanic
says that I have ruined a piston. Is this possible? Or did my
mechanic possibly do something that could have caused this to
happen? Reader Question Don needs some claim relief: I have been injured in an auto
accident, but I don't feel my insurance company is on my

settled faster, and without all the hassle the insurance company
wants to put me through? Reader Question Paul wants to know if he has car problems or problems with the mechanic! I just had my brakes replaced and
they are now squealing. My mechanic says this is normal, why did
I have to pay for normal brake squeal? Is he just blowing me
off? Reader Question Mike wants to be prepared I am taking a road trip with my family, is there some kind of repair schedule I should ask my mechanic to perform before I hit the road?
