Some of the nicest cars and trucks I've owned over the years have been vehicles that all hope was given up on. Haul them in and start checking electrical connections. I've had a 90% or better success rate of cleaning connections and grounds and making a dead vehicle run like new doing this. Of course some problems are actually mechanical in nature. Most vehicles 1985 to date have some sort or other of electronics. I'm no electrical genius by a long shot, but I did learn early on that a poor connection on a low voltage connection (ie; electronics) will drive you almost crazy. (high voltage connections are easily smoke tested). Just set aside a day with a spray can of contact cleaner, a white pencil eraser a shop manual and some patience. start unplugging every connection and lug you can find in a vehicle, clean up the contacts maybe apply a light coat of oxy-gard and plug/reconnect. You might be really surprised at the result. Most people won't take the time or are not that bright to do this and they won't pay someone else $65 bucks an hour either. I logged over 100,000 miles on a 92' Cadillac Eldorado and my daughter still drives. It's now at 208,000 miles I bought it for $350 And it was dead and hauled in on a rollback. The ECM connector plug had a tiny bit of corrosion. Cleaned the connector and the car ran like new and averages 21 MPG still.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
