Man I loathe truck payments
I have kept my two old trucks running far beyond reason with my old
1985 Nissan having 313,000 and the 1988 Dodge having somewhere between 180,000 and 200,000. This weekend, coming back from working on my sailboat, I was seriously worried the Nissan would not get me home. Not only is the transmission going bad, the center support bearing is gone from the driveshaft, I cannot get her to go into reverse without effort, now I seem to have a timing issue making her miss a lot and lose power (maybe timing chain has slipped). No gages except the tach and odometer work. One of the front drive axles has a torn boot (I never use the 4wd so it does not matter). She would not pass inspection anywhere else cuz the pollution control stuff long ago rusted away. Now the Dodge (the only vehicle I allow my 18 yr old son to drive) has developed transmission probs. I simply cannot continue to repair so many things because it takes all my time. I loathe the idea of truck payments and comprehensive insurance but it looks as if I'll have to just do it if I want to keep towing my boat. |
