Yeah, 15 going on ancient. It maybe time to move on. The cost of
maintaining is far outweighing the cost of payment. The transmission
is slipping (a lot) and she having big trouble engaging into drive
after backing up. "The old nag just ain't got it in her no more". As
far as maintenance though I have had to keep up real strict regiments,
however it's becoming a fight I care not too win.
front U joint seized up this past day as well. She was a good truck
(sobbing in the background). Never mind the rust and the holes the
rust gave her all around the rear end. I really want to take her out
to my bud's farm and run her around his quad track just to make her
feel like a truck before I put her down. Maybe even take her off the
table top!!! That'll make her proud!
