Belts from 03 Civic. Dealer garage I go to are qualified. I don't open my hood to strangers. It was a few hundred dollar to change these. They look good to me.Are you ASE certified to make those repairs

It's a safe bet you'll never have to address those for the life of the car now.
Good call.

My 08 Accord has the original serpentine belt still.....but "only" has about 85k on it. In fact it has everything original except brakes and tires, and oil of course!! The ONLY repair I have had to do was replacing a drivers side electric window control, and I bought a used one on eBay and did it myself.
My 3rd Accord in a row, and I might buy a 4th. Although I was looking at Toyotas the other day. Just seems like such a waste as i never drive anywhere these days. I fill the tank once a month.

I used to have my chest freezer next to the washer and dryer. It was nice to put the laundry basket on but made it a pain to connect the vent lol that's changed.Vent hose came off the back of the dryer, fun trying to fit behind it to reconnect it.

I've been diagnosing my pickup truck, a 2009 F150, with a dash light on. Throwing code po128. It could be several different things, but I think most likely a stuck open thermostat, and it's running a little too cool to make the computer happy.
At least I hope that's what it is!! I originally thought the ECT, but I sure hope not as it's not easy to get too, at all.
Needs an oil change while I'm at it!!

Definitely sounds like the t-stat.

Wow, guess what a Motorcraft thermostat goes for? The off brands are like $10-12, but a OEM is $50 on Amazon, or I saw them for $40 on EBay.
There is so much bootleg stuff on Amazon I'm getting shy of them though!!

It could be slightly low of Freon....Does it blow icy cold all the time?

It has a leak somewhere, I need to take it in and get it sniffed out. I've had to recharge it twice.

That's probably your problem!! They will kick on and off weird when low.
Are you recharging yourself? Easy to do, and probably can still buy it with leak detector, or they have this stuff with sealer built in....
