My Love/ Hate Relationship w/ my 95 Hoe

[kyredneck]

O.K,, I am a new member here and really appreciate this site, and I have a love/hate relationship with my 95 Hoe LT 4dr.,, LOTS more love than hate!! She has 157,000 miles mostly from a previous owner and in great condition. Over the past several weeks seems things just keep happening to her. I have so far repaired or replaced the following: Oil Cooler Lines, Most of the A/C, Leaking Rear Diff., Alternator, Serp. Belt, Thermostat, Driver Seat bracket just broke now I have a rocking chair, Wiper's have a mind of their own and now the Power Locks quit working for some reason, and on my day off today I go to start her and she seems to have a dead battery, dragging bad, which the battery is new and everything is charging correctly she did finally start. So today I am off too get a new Starter and Fuel Filter in the pouring rain and lay on my back in the driveway for a couple hours. (did I mention we were having heavy rain showers today and tomorrow?). BUT,,, she has NEVER left me stranded or stuck and probly the best 4x4 vehicle I have ever owned. So I will just keep repairing and grittin' my teeth while smiling and keep plenty of
Band-Aids on hand. Next pay period will consist of new plugs and wires and sure there will be something else by than, DANG,,, I just can't seem to part with her!!

Definantly gonna stick with the ol' gal, Hell,,, I got way too much invested now!! lol.
Rain has slacked off a little, time to go climb under her I reckon. Will keep ya'll posted on the "Money Hoe"

just think.. its either money for repairs or money for the car payment..... atleast money for repairs goes down and doesnt last as long...

Welcome to the forum! These trucks are worth the money. At least, that's what I think. Very solid, fun, and awesome vehicles!

New problem this morning,, was on my way too work at 5:30 am and went out too start the Money Hoe,,, NOTHING,, DEAD!!! Got home this evening and found I have a short in my power locks somewhere. When the Hoe is turned off and using my tester I still have power to the locks, pulled the fuse and now everything is charging fine,,maybe my power-lock module? Sometimes the locks would work but most of the time they didn't anyway. I guess I will have to keep unlocking the doors "old-school" for a while till I can get it figured out,,, also found that I am now leaking coolant somewhere on the backside of the engine, nothing major but a half-dollar sized drops on the driveway towards the back of the engine and my coolant overflow jug is empty again??? I will not give up on her though,,, yet.
