You must live in snow, or in the ocean lol. Never heard of it rusting out like that.
year:1999
cab:supercab
2wd or 4wd:2wd
auto or manual:auto
miles:161,xxx kms, so about 100,000 miles
whats broke: the chassis (recent, from rust, fixed by welder friend/neighbor for $100 and some welding stuff), a leaky transmission line (recent, my dad fixed it),gas tank straps had problems (last year, fixed/replaced), cap on the gearshift (glued back on)....that's about every problem we've had with her except rust (fixed).....she was repaired from a minor accident I think though (pevious owners).
that's all i know about. a great truck (of course, a ch*vy would have a list as long as your arm at a tenth of her age LOL), very great truck. no doubt she will continue to serve well for another while until a younger companion (never a replacement) relieves her of her truck duties in another while.
4 problems, 1 of which that could never affect her function, plus a little rust, in almost 14 years and 14.5 NL winters.
I'm not complainin', anyone else??

What broke:
Spark plugs misfire on #7 @ 60k - ~$700 with Cops and labor they broke 6.
Bent Drive shaft: it got towed on a flat bed, idk what they did, and it shouldn't have towed. Warranty picked it up, the service guy told a white lie but it never should have bent.
At ~ 64k Cat converter bank 1 got clogged. Was covered under 80k exhaust warranty, they replaced both cats, if it wasn't covered I was or prepared to drop a performer header back kit on It XD, saved my pocket book though. Go figure 8k for fords cats is what was quoted to me, but u can get aftermarket performance kits for around 5-6k, SMH
So that's it so far and I may take care of her, but I also use it as a truck and dog her when I need to.
