"Great first truck, awesome reliability"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 92000 miles I replaced the clutch Assembly, and both motor mounts. "That was really hard."

The windshield wipers come on whenever they want, and don't come on when you need them.

The dome light has never worked right since we've had it.

The dome light stays lit the whole time, But the dimmer switch works fine. It's like it was wired straight to the battery. "Good thing we have a mag light flashlight."

The trim that holds the cigarette lighter broke and the lighter fell inside the dash.

The trip odometer reset button doesn't reset anymore.

General comments?

The truck overall is really reliable.

We did put bigger tires and rims on it.

It pulls trailers awesome.

The cab is only big enough for two people.

The 4 spark plugs on the driver side are hard to change.

The problem you have with the dome light not working could be dirty contacts like on mine I just sprayed some WD-40 in the door latch and the stud that holds the door shut on both doors and now it works fine..

I have had almost the exact same problems described above:

Replaced the clutch package (master and slave seals included) at around 136,000 miles.

The windshield fluid dispenser no longer works.

The trim that holds the cigarette lighter broke and the lighter fell inside the dash.

The trip odometer reset button doesn't reset anymore, nor have I put a mile on the truck in about 2,000 miles.

My truck was a crash rebuild (SALVAGED) but the probles are so similar it's creepy.
