I have had quite a few Ford pick-ups and have been satisfied most of the time, except for suspensions and front ends. The next truck I buy is going to be a Toyota Tundra. I am sick of advertising that just isn't true: "Built Ford Tough". The suspensions in them just are not tough and they are not reliable in that sense. I keep reading how Toyota really last. I don't mind paying for something if I get something but with the cost of a truck today you have to shop with real care and slick marketing won't do it for me anymore. I live in Canada in a part where there's a lot of unpaved roads so yes the truck gets used but isn't that what they are for. I am tired of ball joint and tie rod end replacements that Toyota drivers don't have to do so often. Yes I would rather buy an American or Canadian product but at a certain point why pay for something that is more television advertising than it is engineering. The current knock against Toyota is that their styling isn't as hot as the Big Three. I say cheers to that. I don't want style as much as I want a truck that will last beyond the showroom. In any case, anyone with any age on them knows that even a base-model of one of these trucks today has so much luxury in it that our grandfathers would jump out of their graves to own such a Rolls Royce. No matter how much money you had in their day you couldn't get such a thing. Keep it in perspective I say: Buy the best product out there and forget the label. Right now it appears Toyota and Nissan are that product.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
