Building Trucks For Nothing

I am new here. I have a 95 F-250. I want to keep it, but it's starting to nickle and dime me to death. I was surprised the day when i took it and it passed The Taxifornia Smog test. I took it three shops the last time and they all screwed with it. I took it to a mechanic I know here last week and it passed first shot. (He's a Star Repair Shop CA. Authorized to repair them)
Any way I love this truck So I want to keep it maybe when I order my new Super Duty I will keep this one and rebuilt it as a second truck.
