Unbelievable frustraion at "No Auto Parts Available"

After getting the 98 Ranger back together, and it ran fine for a few weeks, suddenly it went to 'ell. Ordered a code reader, all it spit out is "lean on both banks."

Went to NAPA to get a simple, easy, everyday, been here for a hunnered years screw on tire valve schrader bicycle pump valve actuator depressor filler valve chuck filler deflator thing fitting adaptor gizmo.

Like these......




First thing "the kid" wants to know is "what size?"

So 10 minutes of bla bla bla and a few trips to................Google. No I ain't kiddin

One of the "men" tried to tell me "there is no such thing." You guys who "know me" will be surprised. I didn't say anything. I knew if I did things would explode. The car would explode. The store would explode, and so would the Google it was hooked to.

So I came home. Googled. "Hose of Hose" Spokane. THEY ARE OUT, but at least they stock 'em
