you think you have problems!

I swapped a zf5 into my truck a while back and apparently the front seal got messed up some how when we put it togeter. Thus ruining a new clutch in under 7000 miles, the worst part is that it isn't leaking enough to show underneath the truck. I had to pull the boot off the clutch fork to find that it was nice and oily inside. My engine has 293,000 miles and it's worn out, I found a 91 f250 4wd with a 5sp for cheap but I'm kind of tired of fixing something that's breaking all the time. I guess I'm looking for some guidance or encouragement or something like that. Any opinion is appreciated.

Well, it's probably not what you wanted to hear but if you're tired of fixing stuff all the time you generally have to fork out the cash for a newer vehicle, or you have to just spend all the money NOW and go through the truck from front to rear. Fixing each little thing as it breaks will just guarantee a constant supply of little things to fix.

Buying new parts always makes us happier than buying old parts in the long run. If ur gonna replace everything, replace it with the good stuff! If you ever sell your ol IDI youll hate yourself forever. Trust me, I sold mine and bought another truck. A year later I digged through my numbers and found the guys number i sold the truck to. I bugged and bugged him until he sold me the truck back, and I sold the truck I was driving. I even have the truck tattooed on my arm. They are a Man's truck! They make you feel manly when you drive them. haha. Just take a weekend off and knock it all out, you'll love yourself for it!!!
