Default what is the most annoying thing about ur truck

I love my truck. So when ever I notice little tiny imperfections they annoy the hell outa me. For me the most annoying thing is how the passenger windshield wiper doesn't sit flush with the windshield on the end of the blade which makes me run thru wipers faster. ( and hopefully some of u guys will notice this as well and it will start bugging the crap outa u mmuuuhahahaha!!!!! Lol)

That has bugged me too.

I hate the stock speakers, they always blow, and I don't feel like replacing them.

My check engine light throwing codes p0301 p0302 p0303 on and off with no change in performance or fuel consumption. We checked the plugs,wires,coil and now my mechanic says "lets throw some new injectors in it" I said when it starts running like **** we will. It happens more in the winter time than it does in the warm temps,could be the ethanol in the fuel too he said in the winter months. Other than that it's been the best truck I ever owned.

Oh geesh lets see my auto tranny, the little hail dents in my hood and roof,the rust hole in my rear wheel well and my rusty rear bumper. This summer hopefully I have enough money to do my 5 speed swap and get my truck painted.

Not only that, but the damn thing never lines up with the stupid black line on the windshield either.

Most annoying thing? The currently developing hunting idle situation that is starting to have me a little bit worried...
