Usually I get 2 years out of a distributor cap/rotor .
My last distributor cap lasted 3 years.
No warning. Usually it shorts out after I've driven to town, 3 miles. And it was a damp day today.
Bought the truck new in 2007.
Thank God, I have AAA.
I think for my 75th birthday in 2 years, I'll replace the distributor.
The OEM distributor only lasted 2 years too.
I think the rotor shorted out..Looks like the spark jumped through the insulation.
I'm getting toooooooo old twist wrenches and toooooooo much arthritis.
I would buy another truck in a heartbeat if GMC made the low classic body style again. 2007 was the last year for the classic.. May have been the last year for the distributor and rotor.
A year ago the truck died and HoBo recommended I replace the coil. It was bad. The same time of the year the coil died.
I wish I knew a mechanic that could convert this engine to a distributor less ignition.. The engine only has 120k on it.
