Took a small nail in right rear tire. A finishing nail. Crossed my fingers and pulled out. HISSS!!!! Darn.
My floor jack wolldn't go under so I couldn't take the wheel off. My tire guy was closed(Sunday) and I didn't want it to go flat so I got my tire inflator out. When I opened it there was a use before date of 04. Bad news. I bought the car new in Dec 05. Bad news!
I figured I had not much to lose so I used it and per the instructions drove at least 2 miles.
Good news It worked! No air loss for 1 week when I could take it in. We chaned the tire on his alignment lift which has a flat auxiliary lift which goes under the jacking point.
This guy is so nice he lets me use this lift to change the oil. For FREE. Ofcourse we have to take it for a test drive.....
Bad news: I ordered a replacement tank for the tire inflator from the FORD dealer. He said it was 164. 00 list and would give it to me for 115.00.
More Bad News: The replacement tank had an expiration date of 11/2009. Only 13 months over the use by date!!!
Now the dealer is working with FOMOCO to get an up to date one and exchange it.
I'll keep you posted.
