Old and Reliable

[Mark K 2]

My 2001 Job 2 4x4 with 179,000 miles on the clock is one of my pride-and-joys. There's only one thing wrong with it. The driver's door dome light switch is dirty or something and, when the door is open, fails to turn on the dome light. Other than that, it's up to snuff maintenance-wise. The only things that I've had to replace are the alternator, IAC valve, DPFE sensor, and lower thermostat housing.... plus normal maintenance items.



There's a touch of rust on the tailgate mounting supports, but other than that, is rust-free. Not bad for Wisconsin and the Rust Belt. I took some new pics of it today, dirty and all.

Have you checked the wires running from the cab to the door through the rubber conduit? They can fatigue and break inside the insulation.
