Do-It-Yourselfer?
Once you’ve decided what you’re actually going to do, the last issue is the installation. Fluids are a cinch, obviously, but anything else will probably require the aid of a mechanic. We were recently on hand when Matt Rosenberg replaced the CP4 of our EPA-friendly LML, and boy was that a pain in the ass. Lift pumps are a relatively straightforward install, but will still be a fair amount of work. “Straightforward” doesn’t necessarily mean “easy.”
Now that you’re equipped with this knowledge, it’s time to make a decision. Do you wait it out and hope you get lucky or do you defuse the time bomb?
