i am so sorry for your father. my car did teh same thing and i had a bad battery. It would crank, all it did was a clicking and rattling sound. After a new battery it stopped
its good you got an oil change, please tell me your not useing tractor oil?? and maybe the terminal is loose, thats the most common problem like that
The batt terminals aren't loose I make sure of that. I also have a hood light problem it turns on and off when I drive down a bumpy road. And I got some 10w 30 and added a touch of tractor oil to make it a bit thicker. That way it lubes the way I like it and is thin enough for the pump. I put in like 5 or 6 quarts of 10w 30 and a quart of tractor oil. I also used a k&n oil filter and it feels a bit different but it might be the seafoam I put in it. But now that I got this done I gotta save up and get my tag I got till December to get one so I'm gonna save $100 every pay check and get it. It will cost $500 for the custom tag, registration, and title.
O and after I get the tag I'll try and get a 4wheeler from a dealer if they accept me and build credit. If that don't work I'll go to a car dealer and see if I can get a stang or something. I might shoot for a 4x4 to build into a mud truck or so if the price is right. I have been looking at the local for dealer and they got some cheap stuff that will work to build credit. The thing is I gotta drive it till paid off so that will suck
Ok I'm 100% sure I'll check it today I'm washing my truck and my moms suburban and doin a monthly look around on em later today so I'll let y'all know what I find.
