But for AnotherTruckOwner, my best advice is get a Haynes manual. It'll teach you how to trouble shoot what to look for and how too's on about everything. Your cheapest parts are at junkyards. Plus its fun as hell tearin trucks apart and not have to put them back together. Where are you at in MN? Try u pull r parts their in East Bethel and Rosemont.
