    You should probably specify what the problem is. Could be that it's something relatively simple that you can DIY for way less. Or, alternatively, it might be something better for a specialty shop.

    Looks like I found a spot I'm gonna try. The trucks blew out cooling fluids. I replaced fluids but now it's running rough and having a hard time accelerating.
