This is recent-ish. It's happened since we bought the truck in August.
I repaired a bunch of horrific alarm wiring. These are just some of the highlights. Almost every connection was twisted (poorly) and taped over. No solder, no crimps, no shrink tubing. I don't know who thought this was ok. I ended up just having to replace the column wiring harness entirely. It was too far gone. I'm surprised the truck even started.
I pulled the dash to replace the broken AC evaporator core. The flared fitting at the firewall had broken clean off. How does that even happen?
I swapped out the fuel pump assembly. The fuel gauge was jammed at the halfway mark. The pump had 193k on it, so I just opted to replace the whole unit. Someone had replaced the tank pressure sensor, and busted the nipple off. That nipple fell down into the tiny opening in the fuel level sender, causing it to mechanically jam. It was probably a one in a million chance. I damn near had to cut the lock ring off. The special tool was totally useless. I at least used it to install the new lock ring.
This is the pressure sensor nipple in the fuel level sender, after I removed the outer cover.
And I swapped out the worn driver's door hinges. The Dorman pin kit ended up being too tight, so I swapped the whole hinge with some good used ones from a Colorado at Pick N Pull.
Next on the list is replacing or rebuilding most of the suspension, and servicing the brake system.
