I live near wickenburg Az. about 25 Miles from Surprise Az. just to give an Geographical location. I have been thinking of replacing my 1989 Ford F-250 and have went to the local ford Dealer to look at some 6-8 year old used Vehicles. Well, they do not keep any such Vehicle on the lot. They go right to the Auction if decent otherwise they are sold to Scalpers[ the salesman called them] for how much I don't know. However they had several 2001-2004 Vehicles I showed an interest in. The least amount of Miles on the newest trade ins was 146,000 and the older ones had at least as many or more than my 15 year old Truck which is 216,780 miles and it is well taken care of. The dealer says that it is common for a three year old vehicle to have 150,00 miles and when they leave thier lot there is no Warranty whatsoever and a three year old Vehicle to replace my Truck in like kind [would have an V-10 engine] would cost more than I paid for my 1989 new. I was shocked. Is this common in the rest of the world or is this just an Arizona thing. In the 60's and 70's I used to buy old Trucks that were Farm used which could be 10-15 years old and only have 10,000 miles on them. Things sure have changed since then. I guess I have been asleep and never paid attention about Trucks or I would have traded long ago.

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
