The alternator went out at 95000, other than that I have had no problems with it.
This is a great truck, except the gas mileage sucks really bad (17/21, worse than the 5.7 V8) and it's slow, but really all I needed for a first car.
This thing is a beast, very safe.
The truck looks mean in all silver.
How is it worse than the 5.7? Are you comparing it to newer models or something?
Or maybe it needed a tuneup.
17/21 MPG is not at all worse than the 350 V8. I think the 350 is rated at 13/18, and you're lucky to get it. 21 mpg for a gasoline full-size is admirable.
Was the pickup with the 5.7 going downhill with the engine off to get better than 17/21 mpg?
