PCM went out at about 90k miles
2 spark plugs broke at change at 100K miles
dropped a valve at 147K miles

replacing the motor now with a reman and rebuilding the trans just for the sake of it.

Axle seals (multiple)

Wheel bearings (multiple)

Ball joints (twice) (once at 30K, once at 60K)

Tie rods

Broken front springs/ bad struts

O2 sensors

FPCM

PCM

Pinion seal

Factory brake rotors peeling like onion skins

Cloth seats stain with water

I don't offroad, I haul wood occasionally, and I live on a crappy street.

About the only issue I haven't had with the truck is (knock on wood) the tranny is still original.

Mine goes to the shop tomorrow
First it was it need both manifolds replaced as they are junk
Then I found a cracked hub
Then it started stalling on me and running like crap so I dont know what that is and it didnt even throw a code
And to top it all off it jumps over every bump so something is really messed up on the front end
