I have had to replace the water pump, heater core, and radiator due to rust buildup in the cooling system. Since then, I've had no problems, but, I believe this was caused by an additive that I put in. So, I can't really fault the manufacturer.
Otherwise, I have only had to replace normal wear items like the alternator, batteries, tires, brakes, service items, etc.
This truck has held up well and I still get a lot of comments on it's condition. People ask me what year it is and when I tell them, they say it looks like new.
The ride is very comfortable and the cab is roomy and good looking.
I have hauled horse trailers and cargo trailers without any problems. It does not have a noticeable effect on power or handling.
I installed a Gibson cat-back exhaust system, hypertech chip, and K&N air filter. The performance is excellent.
I own a 1991 4wd and it has 216,000 miles on it, it is the best truck that I have ever owned, it takes me and my girl out on the town, and it takes me through mud holes that no one else will go through, I Love It...
Hey I have a 91 z71 and every where I go I get a comment about it. It has a 5.7 liter with a 5 speed manual, and has awsome power and performance. With 8 inch's of lift it goes through mud and snow like a charm.
