Good news-Bad news

Good News
The TV was an easy fix: The lenses just had a nice coating of dust on them. A little time with some windex and a "lint free" cloth and we're in business.

Bad news
My truck has developed a bit of a problem. It's a big of a hiccup that feels similar to as if someone has kicked the back end of the truck. I'm reading that it's either plugs/wires (which are original and will be changed VERY soon), or potentially a bad injector. FUN! Now, to figure out how to fix my truck when Christmas is right around the corner and money is tight because of it.

*facepalm*

Plugs/wires is VERY VERY easy to do yourself (unless it's a horizontally opposed engine, which, it being a truck, I'm going to doubt) -- look your vehicle up on autozone.com and see what the supplies cost; I'm'a guess less than $100. And seriously, easy fix; just replace one wire at a time (but I'll also guess you knew that). :-)

Oh yeah. I've done plugs and wires many times. The hard part with my truck is getting TO the plugs. I'm looking at about $60-$70 for plugs and wires. Though I have to go through Advance Auto because there isn't an Autozone close enough to home or work.
