Default 2003 qc 4.7

I have 60k miles on my 03. I bought it with 47k.
So far I've replaced the throttle position sensor (RPM's were fluctuating). I learned of the fix on this website. Thanks!!
I also had to replace the fuse block/power distribution center under the hood. One day it started losing dash power and then it just wouldn't start. On that one the stealership took 10 days to find the part because it was on backorder. $600 later.
Currently I'm trying to figure out some rotational noise coming from the area of the left front wheel. It usually happens between 10-40mph. I'm thinking wheel bearing but want to be sure befor I spend $200 on the hub/bearing assembly.
I love my truck and baby it. Its charcoal gray with a lot of chrome accessories. I put a Pace-Edwards retractable tonneau cover on it. Inside I have the stock stereo but I hard wired an MP3 connection, put 4 Infinity speakers in the doors and an Infinity Bass-Link sub behind the front seat. When this Dodge dies I'll buy another. For the money, you get a lot more truck than with Chevy or Ford.

Does bodywork count (someone else's fault)? Otherwise, just the funky front brakes these things are known for.

At 8300 miles, I had a rear crankshaft seal and the a/c control panel replaced, both under warranty.

I have 1300 miles on my 08 I got about 3 weeks ago and the dealer replaced teh tires today because they were flatspotted from sitting on the lot for so long. No problems so far, great truck. Though.... If I hold the accel or decel buttons too long on the cruise to gain or lose speed the cruise control shuts off, anybody elses truck do that?

Man, it seems quite a few of you have had problems. To date for me so far, my engine light came on, took her in and they said the pcm terminals were just dirty. That's it. I have a little over 18k on her.
