Had to do some on the Durango. Just a burnt out taillight/blinker bulb. Instead of untwisting a cap to get to the bulbs, I had to unscrew the light from the housing, take the light out, just to get back to the bulbs Just pop the old out, the new in, and you're golden! That's the second time the same bulb has gone out though, in three months.

I may do that, but it's not high on the list. Power steering rack is shot on it, fender is smashed in and needs to be replaced. The grille is cracked, headlight is hanging out of the housing, so that needs fixed, and the tailgate has rust eating through the bottom of it. Also need to look at the exhaust on it, replace all the plugs, and get an oil change. After that, maybe I can replace the taillight housing. This weekend, I'll be putting in a new radio. The thing is turning into a beater it seems like. It takes whatever we throw at it, but it frustrates us. All the aforementioned things, plus it likes to die at idle, despite the battery being less than a year old, and the alternator is good.

The dying at idle, check your PCV Valves and hoses, my Taurus and Vic had that problem and fixing a blown Tee Valve on the Vic fixed it... I used tape on the Taurus :/
On my Explorer My intake Manifold had alot to do with the Idle problems. But I was unaware of the importance of the PCV and that might have had alot to do with the engine blowing on me.

I'll definitely look into that. It doesn't happen all the time, just enough to be annoying, and it always starts right back up. I'll be getting what I can fixed over the next couple weeks.
