100,000 mile club?
I'm getting close, couple of months left. Anybody made it to 100k (miles) yet?
In Canada, I guess that would be 160k (kilometers)
Really no issues but frozen locks to speak of. That got fixed. No check engine lights, no rough running, not transmission issues, super 8.8 rear axle still quiet, ac ice cold, no leaks, seeping, smells, driver's seat held up (cloth), a bit of dash warp but not bad enough to care. Good truck.... 2 replacement sets of rotors and brakes made it to 85,000 and pads were gone.

I have 102,000 miles on my truck. The only thing that has happened on my truck is the water pump had a full failure at 99,000 miles. I took off the water pump and found the impeller sheared off. It was an easy fix with all the room on the front of these engines. I decided to install a new thermostat at the same time, and found that the one they sold me was either the wrong temp range or it was malfunctioning. On long drives and/or drives when it was hot outside, my radiator fans would run like a tornado for the remainder of my drive. I swapped it out for a 170 degree thermostat, and have never had that problem again. Other than the above problems, the truck has been a pleasure to own. They're not the #1 selling truck for 40 years running in America for nothing! Sorry, I just realized that this thread is for 2015 trucks and newer. Please diregard this post.

Al_Maryland - just curious about that water pump failure.
The pump section looks like it's plastic. Any of those broken vanes come out with it?
Most of them look like they broke off, hoping that all the pieces were in the pump housing and just didn't make the picture.
In a boat, it can be problematic when impeller vanes break off and block internal cooling passages. I have to imagine the same concern would be present here.
