There's nothing like an expensive auto repair that changes your attitude about future software acquisitions. I had to replace a fuel pump at $721. 
 So now I delete most of my "sale" emails.  The only things I bought were the $20 Pro Channel Limiter and the Solid State Symphony upgrade.
 I thought about requesting prices for a fuel pump in the Deals section.  The reality is it is not a DIY project. It's a small GMC truck and you either have to remove the bed or drop the fuel tank. I left that to people who know what they are doing.
 So if you have a fuel pump go it is one of the most expensive repairs.

As an Auto Engineer for over 15 years I know what you're saying.  I started
out as a Mechanic (for 5 years) and it was ridiculous.  Not only what we charged,
but what we had to go through to do certain things.  Then you had to deal with 
"you put Air in my tire and my fuel pump went out and I want you to replace it"
people...

Everybody wants something for nothing...and it doesn't matter how much you do 
for them it's never enough...they always want more...

Just because it's on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it!  Easier said than done, right?  Tell that to my wife!
 
No worries.  It's okay to save.  About 99% of the deal threads just get me interested in the product, but I never buy.  Only once in a blue moon.  No need to, really; all the plugins (typically making up the bulk majority of deal threads) are all about the same in some form or another.

Don't feel alone. I just spent a good deal of money to replace the egr valve on my old blazer. Two days later, it's sitting there with a water pump spewing water like Niagara Falls!  You just can't win.

Kitekrazy1, ethanol is causing a lot of fuel pumps to die an early death.  You didn't state what year you truck was but if it is more that 4-5 years old be sure to add an ethanol stabilizer with each tank full of gas. 

Great car advice on Cakewalk !

hence all your posts in the deals section?

I recently got stung with a fine of $2000 from the Worker's Compensation Board in New York for a short, accidental lapse in coverage. I know it's technically a business expense but that has sure put the kibosh on any major audio related purchases for a while.

I changed the fuel pump on my old Bronco II once. It was in the fuel tank, fortunately there wasn't much gas in it. As it turned out it wasn't a big deal. It took my buddy and me a few hours and a bottle of Tequila.
