I had the front end of my Ford rebuilt with all Moog parts for around $1,200. Now every part has a grease fitting.
AC is not that hard to fix. Even a new compressor is not that much.
A windshield is just part of maintenance.
The Fords have some odd electrical problems in the cab. That is the one thing I am going to get fixed. It takes an auto electrician.
At 175 k mi I am tempted to get a rebuilt trans for my 2002. The new torque converters are totally superior.
I am choking on the idea of spending $40,000 in American dollars for a truck with 100k miles.
