Transmission seized at 160,000 miles. Replaced with a remanufactured tranny along with a new clutch.
Water pump began to leak at 165,000 miles.
Paint is in really bad condition.
Immediately replaced the Firestone Wilderness tires with Futura tires.
Head gaskets leak oil on a regular basis. Oil pan gasket leaks oil too.
The emergency brake and anti-lock brake light remain on when the motor is running.
I really like this truck because it is highly reliable and fun to drive.
The 4WD works on demand every time. I'm constantly driving from Los Angeles to the Eastern Sierra Nevadas and I am to yet to get stuck.
Cab is a little tight for long trips.
Yeah the same thing with the brakes happened to me. the rear anti-lock light stays on. Also I think the parking brake only works on one wheel. I have a ticking noise on mine too. I also dislike the push-button 4WD. But I have to agree, it is a very fun truck to drive.
