Only one problem so far... A bearing in the transmission went three days after I bought it at about 70,000 miles.
It will cost me $1,200 to fix.
I love the truck, but crap, the transmission should not need rebuilding at 79,000 miles. The suspension is a little bouncy. It drives great other than than that. The four cylinder engine provides adequate power. The engine revs very smooth and quick. The brakes feel great. The steering is very responsive. Overall, there isn't a much better truck out there except for maybe the Toyota which is comparable.
I've had five of them for good reason. Run my fleet (14 rigs soon to be ALL 97-) of ALL five and never have I had to touch the tranny...
Why again were you saying that???
