i liked that last statement " a 25 yr porsche mechanic, who likes chevy trucks"! when going down to baja you either drive a chevy/ford/vw and all you will never have a problem getting parts. drive anything else and plan on "parts hell" when something breaks!
over the years of towing and going to races we have adopted the "NAPA MOBILE" mentality. basically when prepping for going down for a race, every component that is needed for a spare or a wear part(belt/hose) is purchased from napa, we then take part # and write # on hood of vehicle w/a sharpie pen. that way if we cannot get part in ensenada or san felipe we can always hitch ride to border get EXACT PART and come back with exact part! generally carry a hell of a lot of spares but we have been stuck for days and had to do the exact drill above w/water pump one year.
