WHaaa? I think you're mistaken. My truck has been on the road two years and has never been broken. I had a cracked head I had to replace, but that was unrelated to the carb. Any other times my truck has been inoperative is for upgrades and improvements rather than repairs. I believe you're thinking of someone else. All I know is that I've had far more trouble with TBI systems than carbs - failed O2 sensor, TP sensor signal break, main ECU failure, sluggish starts because there's no accelerator pump, erratic idle speed issues that never could be rectified, etc etc. Towed in more than once with TBI issues. Once the system goes out of loop it will stop dead. Carbs might run rich, lean or inefficiently but they'll always get you there.
And dude, this is a discussion over induction systems - you sure as hell don't need to make it personal.
