MY 1 TON 4 speed dually truck weighs 6700# dead empty & I have hauled horse trailers all over the western half of the USA.

OVER 250,000 miles on the dually—chassis now has 348,000 miles.

2 ORIGINAL items needed to be replaced this past fall -—in a 48 year old vehicle.

Another part-—master fuel switch UNDER truck bed was replaced in August 2021-—46 year old part.

FIND ME ANYTHING sold today that will have original parts for over 48 YEARS.

Same with refrigerators. We’ve had one since the 1980s. Did replace the compressor but aside from that the thing is a tank.

Fridges now are made to last 3-5 years. That’s it. Major appliance and that’s what you get — crap made in China designed to be replaced.
