I agree that $100 is easy to come by for many folks. I can afford to have things fixed. But I don't buy old trucks that need fixing up just to have someone else restore them for me. The other factor for some of us is the enjoyment and the learning. I realize that some of these trucks are daily drivers and need fixed pretty quick. I don't know which poster is which, so if a person joins a forum and post on it I guess I assume they are looking for advice as to what's wrong and how to fix it. We have all used the replacement technique by narrowing down the possible, and fairly inexpensive, culprits. I don't have a beef with anyone who does it that way. It's a viable way especially if a $100 is a $20 to them. I did check NAPA and found no entry for a starter.
The beef I have is a poster posts a question, we all respond with advice and questions so as to advise as best we can...and the poster goes on vacation.
