Re: our trucks are ugly
The guy posting about the 93 (really a 92) with the ball joint and gas canister problem was a short term owner who wanted a low mileage pristine turn key truck that he could daily drive.
The problem with low mileage trucks is they rot as they sit.
Sure they are pretty but the mechanicals are often neglected as they sat and waited for someone to appreciate them.
If he was changing ball joints every 6 months he either didn't know what he was doing when he installed them or was using cheap parts.
He was originally a Subaru guy that bought a Typhoon and didn't have the enlightening ownership experience he had hoped so perhaps his opinion comes off as negative press.
James is actually a cool guy and isn't of the ricer head mentality.
Hey everyone, long time.
Yeah, that's my Ty. Forgive me if I forgot all the details of it, that was nearly 8 years ago when I had it.

I loved that truck, but it had problems that made it a hassle to keep. When I lived in Colorado I had a garage, so it was easy to work on. I ended up moving to VA after that and had to live in an apartment and had no where to work on it. Then it got broken into once, and someone tried to steal it another time (both in the "secure" parking lot

) and the ball joints were too much of a hassle to always be replacing so I sold it with 30k miles on it ... or so. The ball joints got destroyed because I took it up to a park in the mountains that had a washboard road, which toasted them. After that it was never the same. It was a stupid thing to do, but I was younger then ... ahhh.
As far as not knowing what I was doing, at the time I'd owned nearly 90 cars, so I have plenty of experience working on everything! The only thing I can't fix on a car is transmission internals and A/C systems. Other than that ... I've done it.
So anyway, carry on all you guys lucky enough to still have a SyTy!
