Guy advance auto didn't read right code or wasn't show up yet but I think it was show up . He say didn't know how read it well. Shop found it out right away . Purge solenoid valve stick open. $200 an fix. I just hope it didn't carbon up new plugs from last fall or carbon up everything else like a cat converter with probly some carbon buildup . Probly been stick for 2 mo. I think an stick open complely 12 day ago

Never hurt it

I wonder how carbon up it got ? Can it get oil like that ? I just change it 2 wk ago. Newer plugs last fall an air filter

At least you were able to get a new air filter.

Better just pay the 200 for peace of mind.

Why do I keep reading this thread?

I’m with ya 160. Keep coming back

For some reason I think we all have been here before

Like has been said….put injector cleaner in and let the big dog eat. Drive it like you stole it. Sometimes you got to give it a little tough love! You can’t brake something that’s already broke.

Nothing better than Coonman posts to keep the brain working

One thousand, nine hundred, and fifteen viewers and counting can't all be wrong.
I just wish that the naysayers would apply themselves a little more. It's not that hard to keep up with coonman's dialect.

what all issues can u run into at 300,000? It has low 280,000 or close to 280,000. Not sure mileage right now, has had lot components replaced all over , I am think the motor more chance that it well then it won't. Last way past 300,000. Although extreme cold an winter is hard them

all those miles that motor will throw a rod or something. none of them last forever. start saving for a large repair bill or sell it and buy another new one.

Sorry to say coonman but you may be screwed with that vechile !!!

Coonman you're going to be throwing money at a dead horse, 300k on her. Time to let her go.

If not extremely expensive. Repair it. Look price on pickups . New ones are out . I think what I got is $20,000 additional.thrn when I got it. In 2010. Noway worth that money. For what ur buy an what it is, not worth it. Unaffordable on payments a new one along mortgage payment . Look online at dealers on used truck. $4-$5000. Ur buy something likeky turn out be nothing but something in shop over half time . To bad had street project. I could spent that money on 2nd pickup
