lsmalley...I agree with you. I have learned to fix things on a car I never thought I'd even attempt with the help of this forum. And...I was thinking the same thing...the parts that I have replaced are ORIGINAL parts that lasted 19-20 years!!! I'm just the one who is putting on the parts for the next 20! Lol! Almost remanufacturing the darn thing. I must admit...I do feel a great sense of accimplishment when I repair it and don't pay a small fortune in parts and labor
