When it starts going through what you think is too much in a day, then it might be time to fix it, if it is worth, or put it out on the back 40 and retire it.

Bless you for this! I might just bring her to my local neighborhood mechanic and list what you said to maybe check out. You see, that's how a lady has to do it...she can't just pull up to the mechanic's shop all quivery and scared and blank about what is going on. Despite her age Red Rider has had more body work done than a Hollywood actress has plastic surgery...so she looks real fine. She's like a rolling ad for a guy who has a one-man body shop, and I have never used anyone else. And her milage is relatively low. The mechanic has offered to buy her and so maybe he has a vested interest. I get a few offers a year.
No one should be this attached to an old truck. But I am. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING!!!
