I will confess, that with todays engine, drive train ,on board computers and such.....lots of people are gonna be screwed, and I might be one of them.
The truck as 2 fuse boxes, 80 some in one and another 130 in another....and no schematic as to what is for what. A bumped plug on the trailer lights sent me on a quest for manuals, information and so forth.....Nothing in an owners manual.
They just don't want you to screw with it. DW car's manual says "There are 7 items that are yellow under the hood....if it ain't yellow, don't touch it.
Now I have built several race cars from scratch, dirt trackers, sports cars, mud trucks custom personnel cars, motors, trannies, as well as serviced most anything.....last gig was HVAC service guy.....I would still be screwed.
When we were kids, we always had a "parts car" to pull off parts..... Maybe the answer is to have that 1968 Dodge Power Wagon again...and a couple of parts trucks?...or several pairs of boots.

He's pretty proud of that, isn't he? At $4000 it will be around awhile....$2000 maybe......and you can turn it up with a nail file......

I keep a lot of spare parts on hand. In some cases I have another model for spare parts.
For cleaning and I expect folks will cringe my granddad kept a metal bucket with a tight lid and paintbrush, half full of gasoline. I remember washing many a part in that bucket. Now days it's considered dangerous.
