Thanks for the reply. Tried at first with the ignition off and didn't have much success. Turned on the ignition and it worked so much better.

Simple question. Car is a '03 2.3L M6. Getting ready to replace pads and rotors and not sure if I need to have the ignition on when bleeding the brakes.

I have an '03 2.3 MS6. I got a CEL and read the codes. P0128 & P2407 came up. I guess I have a thermostat that is stuck open. Just wondering if one code can cause another code to come up. Seems pretty odd that both would pop up at basically the same time. Just had the car onto the dealer to...

Anyone change out their belts and can give me a heads-up on this??

I am getting some conflicting information and need some help. I have an '03 2.3L 4cyl M6 and want to change the belt(s). I've read where there is only the serp belt that runs everything and then I've read where there is also a smaller belt located on the drivers side under a cover. Can someone...

Well, I've been using the turkey baster deal. Can't get very much out at a time though. After going thru 2 qts of Dex III it's finally starting to look pretty good. Will probably go one more qt to try and get it a bit cleaner. Can't believe how black it was, the cap seems to fit ok but it must...

Thanks for the reply. Did you go with the HD Bilsteins? How are they treating you? I haven't done anything with them yet. Going to take it in and have the bushings checked first like Kusinagi suggested. Is there a special tool needed to install the front struts?

I have an '03 M6 and the power steering fluid is black and thick. Think it's time to change it. Wondering if there is a DIY or How To posted here. I did search and didn't find what I was looking for. I could suck some out with a turkey baster and put some in, suck some out put some in and do it...

Thanks, good idea, will check into it. Struts have about 60K on them so that was my first thought. Not sure how long they last.

I have an '03 Mazda6 and the front end is creaking and squeeking. Think it's time for some front struts. Just wonder what brand struts people are replacing their OEM struts with. What are the recommendations or it is just better to stick with OEM? Thanks

I disconnected the battery to reset everything and looked over the pins in the connector, they all looked intact and good, still no connection. I found on the web that pin 16 is the power pin and is usually connected to the cig lighter circuit so check to make sure the cig lighter works. Lighter...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Will look at the connector a little closer and check the pins. Will also disconnect battery and see if that helps. Could a blown fuse somewhere be the culprit?

I have a '03 Mazda6 with about 75K on it. It is throwing a CEL (Again!). I borrowed a friends scangaugeII but it would not connect. I played with it for about 45 min and some of the indicator lights on the dash would blink like it was at least trying to connect. But it never would. Went to...

Yep, no hardboard at all. I don't want to drill through anything, that's why I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an inch of deadspace between the top of the tank and the floor of the trunk.

I have an '03, it does not have any underlayment that the carpet is attached to. The carpet is a flimsy piece of material that lays on top of the trunk floor. If the carpet had an underlayment board then the velcro suggestion would probably work. Is there no part of the gas tank under the rear...

Anyone know if there is some space between the top of the fuel tank and the floor of the trunk? Maybe an inch or a half inch of space? Or does the tank sit right up against the trunk floor.

OK. well thanks for the input. Velcro sounded to good to be true. Guess its metal bracket time. :)

Not sure if the carpet is the same in the '06 as in the '03, but it really doesn't have any backing, it's pretty thin material. The carpet is only held in place by the back edge being glued to a strip of styrofoam which fits down into a channel. The rest of the carpet is just loose. Is the '06...

Yeah, but then the carpet will slide around and bunch up. Won't it?

Thanks for the replies. Box is about 2' wide X 1' high X 14" deep. It sits up against the back of the rear seats in the truck. Haven't thought about velcro, will have to look into that option. My thought was to try and secure it with metal brackets somehow. Any pics as to how you secured it with...
