I am talking from my experience from few Toyota dealerships and Chevrolet dealerships....I have been told not to fix my vehicles anymore and buy a new ones...Experiences with them leaving the vehicle there for weeks-nothing fixed.....Not all dealerships are the same there might be some better...
Dealerships are not interested servicing 20 years old vehicles period!!!They want you to buy a new one with warranty and they will fix it ...They make money with sales of new vehicles not fixing 20year ones....

I do have the same problem,but only when I am backing up from the shed and motor is not warm enough....After like 5 minutes warming up it is OK...sometimes another 5 min during the ride it is bucking and hesitates,but after that is fine -no problems under load...
