Hola mucho gusto, me presento a esta comunidad gracias a los consejos de mi estimado amigo @soychalbed sobre las dudas de un repuesto a comprar para mi carrito, un Ford Explorer 2006.
El origen de c贸mo lleg贸 este carro a mi vida:
Esta camioneta tiene a帽os, pertenec铆a aun gran amigo de mi padre, de origen portugu茅s, El amigo ten铆a su negocio y con ella hacia todas sus diligencias personales y laborales, luego fallece y qued贸 en muy mal estado, en abandono y descuido por bastante tiempo hasta que mi pap谩 por ayudar a su familia les compr贸 el veh铆culo y comenz贸 a acomodar paso a paso.
Latoneria, pintura, mec谩nica en general, retapizar los asientos, todav铆a faltan detalles pero eso es lo de menos, mi pap谩 me ha dejado como herencia material y sentimental este carro, falleci贸 hace tres meses por el desgraciado COVID ( puedo decir mas cosas pero no vienen al caso) y aqu铆 estoy aprendiendo todo lo relacionado, manejarla, entre otros.
Problematica:
Es incre铆ble la cantidad de gasolina que se gasta con este carro, un cliente amigo me dijo que el tiene una igual pero que en distancias cortas no sirve porque justamente gasta mucho, en cambio para distancias largas es formidable, de hecho, de Charallave hasta Tucacas tuvo un recorrido sin problemas de gasolina, de regreso si le coloc贸. Tengo ganas de inventar a ver que tal, solo la he usado para visitar clientes por estos lares de los Valles del Tuy.
Resulta y acontece que ayer en esas diligencias, manejando sentimos como un cierto desnivel, tocamos los cauchos para saber si alguno estaba flojo, todo pintaba bien pero nos quedamos con la duda, al llegar a la oficina de retorno, revisamos con calma y apreciamos que estaba totalmente flojo, mi primo me pide permiso y saca el caucho derecho de atr谩s se aprecia el desgaste total de la pieza, ya mucho se aguant贸 y no da para mas, 驴Qu茅 hay que hacer? bueno, hay que comprar, as铆 que ando averiguando precios aqu铆 y all谩, sea de calidad y no tan costoso, 驴Estar茅 pidiendo un milagro? pues si, me gusta la gente honesta y responsable y no que se aprovechen de mi desconocimiento y quieran meter gato por liebre.
Enviado a mi Whatsapp para averiguar con propiedad y tener idea.
As铆 que aqu铆 estoy, estudiando e investigando todo lo relacionado a las Ford Explorer, hasta en youtube ando buscando informaci贸n, me han recomendado algunos amigos que la venda, resulta que tiene mas de 3.000 kil贸metros ya, la l贸gica me va diciendo que si, que la venda, realmente no quiero por todo lo que representa, es mas, me gustan los carros grandes, cabe de todo y sirve para todo: mercanc铆a, peroles, gente, gatos, perros, playita, campo etc jejeje. 馃槃
Tener un carro es mucho cuento, como dice mi madre, es una gran ayuda, muy indispensable, salir de 茅ste veh铆culo no quiero, pero una cosa es el querer y otra el deber ser, repito lo que dije desde el inicio: solicito sus consejos sobre:
1. 驴D贸nde comprar este repuesto no tan caro y valga la pena?
3. 驴Vendo o no el carro?
4. 驴Sugerencias para seguir mejorando y/o mantenimiento de mi Ford Explorer?
Por cierto, tambi茅n tengo un KIA pero eso, se los contar茅 en otro post.馃檭

Hello, I introduce myself to this community thanks to the advice of my dear friend @soychalbed about the doubts about a spare part I need to buy for my car, a 2006 Ford Explorer.
The origin of how this car came into my life:
This van has years, belonged to a great friend of my father, of Portuguese origin, The friend had his business and with him, all his personal and work affairs, then he died and the vehicle was in very bad condition by neglect and abandonment for quite some time, until my father one day decided to help the family of the friend bought the vehicle and began to accommodate it step by step.
Brass work, painting, mechanics in general, reupholstery of the seats, still missing details but that's the least of it, my father has left me as a material and sentimental inheritance this car, he died three months ago by the unfortunate COVID (I can say more things but do not come to the case) and here I am learning everything related, driving it, among other things.
Problem:
It is incredible the amount of gasoline that is spent with this car, a client friend told me that he has the same model of car but that in short distances it does not serve him because it simply spends a lot, however for long distances it is formidable, in fact, from Miranda state to Falcon he had an excellent trip without gasoline problems, back if he put it. I have only used it to visit clients in these parts of the Valles del Tuy.
Well it happens and it turns out that yesterday, driving we felt like a certain unevenness, we touched the tires to see if any was loose, everything seemed to be fine but we were left with the doubt, when we arrived at the office we checked it calmly and we appreciate that the rubber was totally loose, my cousin asks me permission and pulls out the right rubber from the back, you can see the total wear of the piece, and much was subject and does not give for more, what to do? Well, I have to buy, so I look for prices here and there, it has to be of quality and not so expensive, am I asking for a miracle? yes, I like honest and responsible people who do not take advantage of my ignorance on the subject.
Sent to my WhatsApp to find out properly and have an idea.
So here I am, studying and researching everything related to the Ford Explorer, even on youtube I'm looking for information, some friends have recommended me to sell it, it already has more than 3000 kilometers, logic tells me yes, sell it, I really don't want to for everything it represents, besides, I like big cars, everything fits and serves for everything: merchandise, dogs, people, cats, dogs, beach, countryside etc hehehe. 馃槃
Having a car is a great help, very essential, I do not want to get rid of this vehicle, but one thing is to want and another is the duty to be, I repeat what I said from the beginning: I ask for advice on:
1. Where to buy this not so expensive and worthwhile replacement part, something of good quality.?
3. Should I sell the car or not?
4. 驴 Suggestions for improving and/or maintaining my Ford Explorer?
By the way, I also have a KIA but that, I'll tell in another post.馃檭
