And what does n*************t.com gain from it?

I have a 2001 1500 Quad Cab, 86K miles.

- Clear coat is hazing and eroding. (truck's never been garaged)

- Dash top extensively cracked.

- AC/Heat blend door, or something, quit sending air to the dash vents a
year ago.

- Replaced fuel pump a few years back when truck failed smog test because
tank wouldn't hold pressure. It pumped! What a waste of money over a
whiff of vapors.

- Engine pings. Ran on Regular 87 octane when I bought it 1 year used,
now using Premium and still pings a bit. Re-routing plug wires as per
service bulletin might have helped a bit, but I think intake manifold
gasket is the culprit.

It does, and it was a rare find. Nearly all the manuals have a 6-cyl
engine. It's an early '01 with drum brakes in back. This is the longest
I've ever kept a vehicle, and I still like it.
