Hey, I drove my last 1990 Chevy truck for 13 years and never even pulled a
valve cover, Did have to replace the tranny after 213,000 miles.Also 2 drive
shafts, 3 sets of rear axle bearings (I hauled a lot of paper), 1 radiator,
Lost count of how many batteries, 2 drive shaft carrier bearings, 1 water pump.
Never did have the front end aligned, never needed it. So all and all I say it
was a god truck. Haven't decided about the 03 that I drive now. seems a little
wimpy to me. May have to go Toyota Tundra next time, Denis seems to have good
luck with his.

wish the bus was going:
i was driving home from work yesterday in the danger ranger. when i hit the
interstate the battery light started flickering. the closer to 80 i got the
more steady teh light would be. i get into benton and get off the interstate
and pull off and rev the motor to the 70mph rpm but nothing happens, no light
nothing. so i get back on the interstate and try to get it to do it and sure
nough it does it in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, it flickered a bit in 4th and then when i
went into overdrive it woudl just flicker every once in a while. so i get off
at bryant (10 miles down the road) pull into a gas station cause i need gas.
pop the hood and i rev the motor in hopes that the belt i slipping. i look down
and sparks are shooting out of a spark plug wire.
so i get home i wrap the wire in electrical tape to get through the week and am
dreading having to change 8 plugs and wires on a friggin' 4-banger. and i am
dreading the $175 price of the altenator too.
if the bus was running i would just say screw it and take the bus...i'd rather
freeze my ass off then worry about being stranded
i'm going to work now...say a prayer, wish me luck...AHHHHH!!!!
