THE FOLLOWING HAVE SHOWN OCCASSIONAL PROBLEMS SINCE 1993, BUT HAVE CONSISTENTLY BECOME WORSE WITH THE AGE/MILEAGE OF TRUCK: INTERMITTEN WIPERS DO NOT WORK, DIMMER LIGHT AND OTHER GAUGES DO NOT WORK IN DASH. THE TRANSMISSION HAS A LOT OF BACKLASH/KICK WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR. THE IGNITION AND ALTERNATOR ARE CONSISTENTLY GETTING WORSE, SOMETIMES IT TAKES TURNING THE KEY UP TO TEN OR MORE TIMES TO GET THE TRUCK TO START. CURRENTLY, ONCE THE ENGINE GETS HOT, THE TRUCK SPITS AND SPUTTERS, ALMOST KILLING WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN.
