Default I would still look to solve the problem
Probably dist cap I would still fix the problem before the truck leaves you on the road during the next storm. Fixing the truck now is cheaper than having to be towed during the next rain storm.

As far as Ford goes I put 350,000 on my 1999 F150, 2003 put 257,000, and my newest one a 2007 I got 83,000. Funny, the Fords I owned never left me on the side of the road either, didn't need to change alternators, and my interior didn't fall apart in 3 years or less like Chevy.

Went to a techinical institute to learn how to work on trucks and specialized in domestic trucks due to demand. Was a Ford truck mechanic from 1992-1998 and also fixed chevys for the place I worked for.
60% of the mechanics that complain about Ford had no formal technical training. Those guys that end up at the chevy dealer cutting the check engine light wire due to they cannot find the problem. Seen a mechanic do it on a new truck at a chevy dealer. Easy fix if he would have had the proper training.


By the way love the drum brakes on the 2009 Chevy trucks. Cost cutting measure.

Critics critics... And all I asked for was a little help. Callmaker I was the lucky one to get picked to work tomorrow. So I don't have time this evening to tear into it. I did as Ray said and just turned my headlights off and popped the hood. I don't see any arching. I tapped on the distributor cap with a screwdriver and the truck started jumping. So I left it alone. I'll have more time tomorrow when I get home from work. Gotta drive the old dodge hoopty in the morning. Thing is a pulling machine. 6 gears, twin turbo diesel engine. 18-wheeler pipes (w/o mufflers) coming out right behind the cab. Gotta wear earplugs going to work in that *****!

I have a Dodge that my Great Great Great GrandPaw had and it has 981,724 miles on it, and the odometer already rolled over twice.

It does so good on gas that I have to let some out every once in a while.
