Im also ASE certified, although I no longer work in a shop (blown out back no longer allows me to crawl around under cars). Breaks, blower motor and oil change would be fairly a small job on this truck for anyone to handle, expecially with proper equipment. Blower motor should be right up under neath passanger side dash in the core compartment, a few 10mm bolts it itll come right out, shouldnt even have to dismantle the dash, breaks and oil change, well hopefully thats self explanatory.
