Agree. I too, like manual steering and manual brakes. I converted both my Dusters to manual everything LOL. More going to manual than to power, so he could trade a manual steering box for power steering box even up. But, most I find are power steering anyways. He can get a hold of Jpar for an aftermarket AC set up LOL. I think it's more about money and/or travel. So many want back into it, and they think it's 1988 where a couple grand and 15 minutes brings home a beauty. Probably, as he suggested, a new chally would be best for him :)
