Here's a new one good through Oct 23. Code 353005636172570460

Yeah, a friend still has his he bought new. His is the Adrenalin model. Fun driver, but bed way to small for much that needs a truck bed. If the OP pic were available with at least the original short bed at Comanche length, I'd be interested!

This is the one that came apart on mine multiple times resulting in defrost air only

I Second!

I figure a leak is a leak, so I have some work to do. But I'd still like to understand an intermittent leak in the fuel injection delivery. About a week ago I smelled gas, looked, saw one leaky injector. It appeared to be leaking at the seal into the hole it goes into. I have had these leaks before, I have replaced 3 of my 6 injectors, and the last time I had it apart I replaced all the o-rings and had no leaks. But that's not the question, the question is still why intermittent. I have looked a couple more times over the last few days and the leak has never showed up again. I looked at both engine hot and cold. So scratch head. This morning I installed a new battery and started up to make sure the new battery was happy. I smelled gas again, looked, the aforementioned injector was dry. But I see dripping fuel from the bottom of the fuel pressure regulator and a small fuel pool under in in the area of the blue outline. So Alexa, add a new regulator and fuel line quick connect to my shopping list. But 10 minutes later I decided to look more closely and capture the leak in a pic, it's no longer leaking and the fuel in the pool has dried up. There is some dampness still visible on the regulator but no active leaking. Again the intermittent question. Truck has not been driven or even run long enough to warm up a lot, but still, scratch head more. Anyone care to kill my cat (quench my curiosity for those that don't decode that metaphor)?

Sounds fair to me. I see a few on EBAY for about the same price and if it were me I would much prefer buying from someone here to a stranger on EBAY given the two choices.

This topic makes me remember looking for a small truck in 1990. I don't remember for sure what all I looked at, but several of the then available similar sized ones. Two things made an impression for me. First, inside it looked and felt like a truck, the others felt more like a car, I already had a car. The final decision came when I opened the hood. On everything I looked at other than the Comanche, the hood was for sure a one hand lift, was wobbly, and when you closed it, it sounded wimpy. The Comanche hood was actually solid, heavy, and when it closed there was a satisfying and firm "thud". 36 years later, I still think I made the right choice .

You might scan my recent May Day post. It's a bit long but it does document a handful of things I did that resulted in pretty good results. In particular the ECU relearning step that did more good that expected.

Great!

Got a new one good through Sept 25... 349948498172570460

There are actual bulbs in the fixture, perhaps they have burnt out?

I went over a took a look and it turns out these were not metal, and it just looks like pieces of RTV from removing the pan. So doesn't look like there's a problem here! Glad it wasn't metal pieces afterall!

My son pulled his oil pan to put in a new gasket, and maybe a new pan cause the drain plug location is a little messed up / bent, and he sent me the pic below. He said he doesn't really see where the chips in the pan came from. The car is running well just has an oil leak. Any thoughts on where these might have come from? I'm going to ask him to double check they are really metal with a magnet, cause just from the pic it looks like it could possibly be pieces of the old gasket to me, but all I have to go by is the pic. Any thoughts?

Look closely at the contacts for the solenoid on the control board, I believe that was my issue...
