I agree with that. In a way I'm glad I saved this truck from the PO. But I made the mistake of falling in love with the truck despite its issues. Should have brought a skeptical friend to check it out.

you live and learn dude! its hard to fall out of love with these trucks so the way i see it.. your trapped! just take each problem one at a time and realize that these trucks will always have something going wrong with them but thats just half the fun! atleast you dont have to deal with a whole bunch of sensors and computers!!!

i used this tool and thread set from autozone it works but I had the head off already
