can whlvr 994 #2 Posted July 28, 2012 your typing is a little scattered at the money point,is that 140 dollars for the exhaust,if so i would ****** up that deal in a milli second,even if you had to work for several hours to fix the truck ,the solinoid is very inexpensive,you can bypass it with a booster cable to see if the machine runs,a 1999 in decent shape has gotta to be worth 500 bucks,at least where im from,actually people would ask more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #3 Posted July 28, 2012 A 1999 314-8 for $40 and a few hours work. Grab it. It's probably a safety switch that went bad. There's one on ths shift lever to sense neutral. They break often. Or the pin it attaches to. I had a 2000 that happened to. In 2001 I went to buy a WH new it was just over $5000 plus mower deck, i didnt buy one until years later. If it runs at all thats a steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
