Hello,
I am new to the SYTY world, a potential new buyer, selling my 98 t/a ws.6 so can finally afford a SyTy. I have been checking them out and boy these things are SOO quick. I nailed the gas and I WAS OFF. These things are no joke. As SYTY lover for years, it is great to finally be able to have a chance to get this truck. Couple quick questions if you guys can give up some time. First off the Emergency brake and shifter were both had a little friction, the e-brake needing to get manually pushed with your foot or the release lever held for an amount of time. The shifter took a little (little) pushing to get into place. Not a jerk, just a little more force than the TY I checked out. I saw a white Ty, 30 k mi, and everything clicked fine. The SY had 90k mi. I know this plays a difference, but is there a good way to fix it? What effects are there from 60-90 of the same fuel filter? How much does it cost to replace the wastegate solenoid and a shattered fog light housing? If you guys could have had $1000 to put into your truck in the start, including anti-theft and repair/longetivity mods, how would you have spent it? I was sorta thinking Alky kit and then walbro 255 FP and whatever else. Do you all use the TB kit? Thank you guys for all the help. Hope to be coming here soon for mod advice. Extremely helpful forum, helped me do a lot of my research. Also, incidentally, how much does it cost to get a cowl hood painted? Anyone in the Bay Area here?(I know you are here, just wondering who) Thank you for all the help people.
