The more I hear about what can go wrong, the more nervous I am to take my truck out in the "bush". Let's see, we have cam phasers (sounds like something out of Star Trek), fuel injectors, COPs, plugs that fall apart when removed, a fuel pump driver module that likes to swell up and crack, any number of sensors that can all go belly up at any time, and, an electronic brain that might develop a crack in a solder joint which would render it useless.
Wish I had an old WWII Army Jeep.
