Yeah it's run well, but now my truck is acting odd. My first suspect issue was the clutch. It wouldn't shift easily unless I put it into other gears then back to the gear I wanted with the clutch depressed.
This seemed to be easy enough to accept (I've fragged a gearbox before!) and work around.
The next issue started about 3 months later when shifting gears at speeds below 30-35 MPH was fine, but higher gears would sometimes cause the steering wheel, stick shift, and cab area around the driver side to vibrate. This vibration would increase as the speed was increased. The vibration would cease immediately when letting off the gas pedal completely, but occasionally would vibrate if I rode the clutch at speeds greater than 45 MPH and have my foot off the gas.
SO, should I be worrying about:
1. Fuel filter (simplest-$)?
2. Fuel Pumps (dual tank-$$)?
3. Gearbox ($$$$...dammit!)?
4. Or something else that will require me to torch the beast and buy another one because it would be the cheaper option?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
