I hear you guys buying a 23 year old truck and expecting it not to have any problems is retarded. However buying a DD truck and it being down 1/2 the time ive had it which has been less then a month is very discouraging, especially when your family depends on it to get you to put food on the table. I'm glad I found a forum w knowledgeable diesel owners that can point me in the right direction.

I changed the alternator w a duralast and she fired right up and drives better now seems like she has more pep. Im going to keep her and give her some TLC.
