I have a little tick on mine and I may need to check my spark plugs again. It’s good to know that these trucks when properly maintained can get some good mileage on them.  I’d say 85% of my driving his highway. The other 15’s just getting in and out of town. I take and change my wall with mobile one full synthetic every 5000 miles. I don’t think it ever gets a chance for the oil to break down. I’m pretty good at replacing the transmission fluid too. She’s been a good old truck. I’ve had her since she was new so that’s about 14 going on 15 years now. I do have this one annoying little glitch with the interior lights. Occasionally while driving they come on and I have to tap the dash or turn the lights off. It’s supposed to be some bad solder in the dash panel. I tried re-soldering it but it didn’t work so I may end up just buying a new dash console. Just minor stuff with her. Remember when I bought her in July 2008 I got a heck of a deal. It was a $32,500 truck and I ended up getting it for 20,000. I’d be tempted to get a new one if I could get another deal like that.</blockquote>
