  1. Yeah, that's sweet! Nice cam.

  2. You probably change your oil often enough... Or if it was a used car the prior owner didn't neglect it. Those engines aren't guaranteed junk, it's just bad maintenance.

  3. Yeah, I'd rather go out and find a similar southern car and put money into that than keep a rust bucket going. I got my dad's old rusty 01 tundra and I loved it because it was a manual, and it was basic (crank windows). I put my own time into it fixing things for cheap (2 brake lines rusted out, exhaust rusted out, parking brake cable snapped, patched multiple rust holes in the oil pan and rear diff) I got an extra 80k more miles out of it for roughly $800 in parts and many hours of my own time before the power steering rack started leaking like mad and I said that's enough, and drove with the res empty till I dumped it. Just about every problem was caused by rust, and there was so much more to come. It was just too rusty to keep going, as much as I loved it. If it was a beautiful southern truck I'd still have it, even with it's 300k miles, but rust is a different story.

  4. What do you mean by goes lean? Is it throwing a "too lean" trouble code? Is fuel economy horrible?

  5. Hey, gotta keep it going! Especially where you can't get parts. Can't say I didn't file a piece of wood into fine dust once and throw it in my PS reservoir to slow an incredible leak (truck was destined for the scrapyard due to rust).
