I just spent over $700 to replace the “power steering gear box”. I don’t know what that is but I know it can leak power steering fluid – I have spots on my pavers to prove it. Now I am told I need about $1,000 in extensive work on the front brakes (and I know that isn’t a bad estimate – that is the lower of the two that I got). And on my way over to get the second estimate, the A/C went out. Another $300. So over $1,200 (and nearly $2,000 if you include the power steering gear box) for a truck that has barely been used in 3 years. But as long as I have the fifth wheel I need the truck.
Every time I put money into it I think “that should fix it for a while.”
But I am beginning to think that “for a while” means “for a few days.”
