Yeah man, like I said, 100k is when things started to break for me. IMHO that is excellent considering I bought this truck new in 05 and I'm the only owner.

 

I bought my truck in 05 and I am the original owner, had to replace ball joints, other than that, I reached 104000 miles now and the wheel bearings need replacing, I kept up on the routine maintance and have no issues at all, and I beat the **** out of this truck everyday. also brakes, but thats normal. did those at 90000 miles. Truck was built in mexico and is pretty solid. Other thing, frt driver seat is starting to tear around the stitching,

 

I bought the truck used a year ago with 103000 kilometers on it (64000 miles). The truck has run well and the only issues I've had so far is the front right caliper seized up to the point of major smoke (and stink).

I also have a noisy bearing but that I think is my own fault screwing around in a parking lot after the first snow fall. I put it in 4x4, cranked the wheel and hammered on it in to spin it around. I put it a bit sideways and hit a bit if a dry patch. Since then I've had a bearing noise.

The brake calipers were easy to change and I assume the wheel bearing shouldn't too bad either. In one year I've only put 10000km/6000miles on it though. So far I'm not complaining. For the little amount I drive it the truck has been reliable and fun.

 

 

im not one of the lucky ones.. ive had to do both upper contorl arms (warranty) had to to do brakes twice happy with the oens i got but ima have to get new ones soon. hopefully just pads.

i have had to replace 4 im serious 4 calibers. they were locking up the guy i had put them on bitched at the company and he got better ones and didnt have to pay a cent.

ive had both head gaskets blow internaly. im hoping it hasnt again. up keep has been bad for me got it in Feb of 09 at 30,000 and its now feb of 11 and shes got 62,700. bout to change oil, fliter, clean the k/n, new spark plugs, wanna get an oil catch can, and then soon not sure when maybe in june i wanna get the transfer case, tranny, rear and front oils changed... $$$$$........... grrr

 

your gana send it in for that?

 

I told Thunder about that. I believe the headgaskets are the weak link in our motors. So far the Cometic headgaskets are holding the pressure from my increased boost!

 

yea ive been thinking if the head gaskets are a weak point in our trucks im juast gana get new ones so i dont end up having to go back and work on them if they blow afer doing the cam swap. Id rather get it all done at once
