I hate it when vehicles break down. I hate the big repair bills even more. I hope this doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
Our son just bought a new Ford F350 4WD dually. He lives in a 40' RV and his old truck was straining to pull it, not to mention that it was quitting at inopportune moments, leaving him on the side of the road miles from anywhere. He is a crane operator and just started a job at the Exxon plant that blew up this past summer in Baytown. He'll be working 13/12 hour days with the 14th day off. His previous truck was single cab, vinyl seats, stripped model. he got diddly squat for trade in. He bought a King Ranch that is nicer than my house. LOL His reasoning is that it will hold trade in value and he will trade every two years. He says that all the sensors and electronics break and cause problems, which makes sense. All this is to say that you are better off to fix what you got than to buy new, when all the gadgets wear out long before the motor will. But the motor wont run if the sensors don't work. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
