Just more expensive to fix! LOL

So the guy brought the price down to $6100 but also added that, on top of replacing the power steering pump, that the fuel guage doesn't work along with the A/C kicking on and off. And being in AZ with the high being 114° today, that's a bit essential to have. So in total he told me the cost would come out to around $600 for a shop to do it all professionally.

A/cs a deal breaker for me... I go out that way rather frequently. and diesels are always so damned expensive! its just where you wanna spend the money I guess haha

Either way .. ur money ahead .. fix the ac and u know what u have then .. it will pay for its self in the end easily :tu:

Definately want a shop to look it over as well just to be sure.

Huh, My AC has 400K on it and I use it every day. Pretty much year round. I've had to hit Walmart for those $40 recharge/stop leak kits a couple times, but whatever. My experience has been that the system is pretty robust, I've never replaced anything.

Yea the guy told me it only had to be recharged. For a guy who doesn't have much experience with auto motives would it be pretty doable? I'd like to work on my truck instead of giving it to a shop the majority of times so I guess I'd have to start somewere. Aldo for the fuel guage, he told me that the sender needed to be replaced but the the fuel tank had to be dropped. Is that doable as well?

Look for a NV4500 rig. Then you wont spend money on the slushbox later. Mostly a preference thing tho. Other than spending money clutches My Nv4500 has served me well. Save money for some cold cans instead of a slipping auto! :c: :c:

I've literally never driven stick but have been wanting to learn for some time now, especially now from everything I've been hearing about the automatics in the 2nd gens! Though I have heard it sucks in stop and go traffic
