I think so too!

Honestly, one of the good things about this 'ol pickup is there are not a lot of parts, so even if you replace one and it doesn't fix the problems (hey, I've NEVER done that! blush) there are not that many. LOL

The biggest killer on these old beasts is getting the parts, that often takes several days to a week when you need them. But back to the point above, not a lot of them to stock as spares either... wink
