>"But he made it sound like the part was expensive and I was "extremely lucky" he just happen to have this unique and special part in his truck" Not to take away from your experience, however there is some truth to what your tech was saying. A capacitor is cheap when a part supplier/warehouse is open. You can call a warehouse to open after hours but you pay for the luxury and it isn't cheap (was at least $100USD, that was 20 years ago). >"I was "extremely lucky" he just happen to have this unique and special part in his truck" Actually, you were lucky if he had a capacitor that was the same farad rating. Most techs don't have a huge inventory in their vehicles, some times you get "weird" sizes that you dont expect. "Universal start capacitors" are available which allow you to "configure" the cap to the rating you require, however they are very expensive (over $150USD per cap). I would use a universal start to get you back up and running and then come back with a cheaper part.
