I like how simple it is to work on my truck, a few hand tools can fix any problem. Compared to my newer car, which needs a computer to scan trouble codes, has sensors in every nook and cranny, and its all squeezed into a cramped engine bay... modern comforts are a pain in the butt! Like AlreadyGone said, fixing one thing gives you the confidence to tackle the next project, and it makes you feel good when you get her back on the road. I have learned a lot from working on my truck. I went from only doing regular oil changes to tuning carburetors, adjusting valve rockers, learning how to adjust engine timing, fixing a leaking transmission, rebuilding the suspension. This truck has also taught me patience, especially when dealing with electrical gremlins
