[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 459950, member: 18942"] I hate euro vehicles when you have to work on them I find them much more of a pain than the jap vehicles or us ones. Maybe it's just me but parts are always high dollar it seems compared to other companies. The vacuum line 4x4 stuff was crap of the 90's dodge had it too, and it sucked as well. My burb push button stuff knock on wood is still going strong at 230k, I didn't have to rebuild it's trans till 207000 miles I felt that is pretty good lifespan out of an automatic that has seen it's fair share of towing. I haven't come across many vehicles in states that dump salt in the winter that haven't had brake lines replaced by 150k miles or so. Indiana is pretty bad about dumping way more salt brine, and rock salt on the roads than they need too seems any older vehicles or ones with some miles need brake lines. Heck that's how I got my commuter subaru forester for dirt cheap needed a wheel bearing, and some brake lines. It had 176k when I got it, my burb needed it's first brake line around 170k. I don't think it matters what manufacturer you get in salty road states brake lines are going to be prone to rust and replacement. I'm not a big fan of any of the 90's trucks other than dodges with cummins, but the cummins is the only thing that makes them worth a darn.
