Forgot to mention that was one of my XT6s. ;D
Man those cars could run off peanut butter if they had to.

Wow, and all of us kept telling you it was the alternator. Sorry, looks like we were all steering you in the wrong direction. And unfortunately, it turned out worse then we geussed.

P.S.: If you want to save yourself some money, you can do the O2 sensor yourself.

I drove around for weeks on bad head gaskets spitting coolant out the exhaust.









In my XT6.

Wouldn't try it in an SVX.

If you're up to it you should try doing your own gaskets.

Good learning experience.

MAF is super easy. The O2 may require some penetrating fluid to help loosen it. Neither are difficult.
