confused I feel for you guy, Im convinced that refinancing/buying/selling a home is the biggest test a marriage will ever go thru. Ive only bought one house and re-fied it once and it amazed me how annoying the whole process was.

Could be. Its so friggen crowded under there that its hard to get a good look and find where its comming from. Ill take a better look in the morning.
I don't see how they got the turbo in/out w/o taking the motor out. That's freaking TIGHT. I guess if you do them everyday, all day, you probably learn some tricks.
ford allows a whack of time to re & re a turbo. my diesel mechanic buddy (who passed away last year), could do it in about 1/2 an hour. maybe that was EACH way...whatever it was, he made great $$ off that job on the flat-rate system.

There are tricks to every job out there. I won a $50.00 bet years ago from my service manager. I bet him I could have the injection pump pulled out and stripped down in 10 minutes, coming out of a Buick 350 oil burner. He bit and I did it a a little over 9 minutes

Sounds like when $$$ is a motivating factor[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Mechanics can accomplish great feats in a small amount of time. I don't mind paying to get the job done. But, if it can be done in less then an hour or two, why does it take 2-3 days to get something fixed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

House here sold in umm 2001 I'm pretty sure. He was gone for over a year when we moved. That was pretty much before everything blew wide open around here.

LOL! I find it funny you refer to the buyers as subjects[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Thought I only did that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Pray everything works out for you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

huh? i mean the buyers had a conditional contract with "subjects" in their contract that had to be removed, such as "subject to obtaining financing, and subject to a home inspection", etc..

Confused, hopefully this one works for you. Had a neighbor who had a house, car, etc. waiting for him OK City, OK and he kept having offers fall through on his house here. Finally someone bought it for a rental. His wife had already moved with the youngster back to OKC. He paid less in OKC for a nicer house on like 40 acres w/ a 40 acre option on the adjacent property than what he did for his house here.
thanks skinner, hope yer right. we do have the luxury of a better back up offer, and another guy who now wants to put in a back up offer on that one. and a 3rd guy who's anxious for everything to fall apart so he can buy it (but doesn't wanna step up and make an offer now).
Sounds like he wants to see why they are falling through[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] and maybe give you a low ball offer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

There's a house down the street from us. The guy (a doctor) has it priced rediculously high. He had one offer on it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] that fell through because the house didn't appraise high enough and the prospective buyers didn't have any money down.
EXACTLY what he wants to do. he has to offer what we have now or better, but if he waits, MAYBE he'll lowball us and we'll accept out of desperation (NOT!!). the risk of being like that is; you're not the next in line if original offer falls thru. so then you lose again. if you actually want the house, step up and make an offer, even if it's back-up.
