[QUOTE="rr2008, post: 2001328, member: 4073"] OK, someone help me here, what items seem too much. Just put on the 4th set of tires, (I don't run them till the cords are showing)? on the third replacement battery (doesn't seem far from norm or is it)? three times for brakes and wheel bearings, i have wheel bearings done regardless when I have the brakes done (I have brakes done before the truck won't stop)? *** one time for brakes was due to firestone in Owasso overtightening lug nuts *** plugs and wires have been changed once in 14 years 166,000, excessive? serpentine belt replaced once in 14 years 166,00 miles, excessive? IAC (was not affecting drivabilty, made howling vacum cleaner like sound at low idle) $40 part and 5 minutes with a wrench. thermostat replacement once in the time I have owned the truck, excessive? pcv replacement once in the time I have owned the truck, excessive? fuel pump replacement once in the time I have owned the truck, excessive? guess that leaves lower ball joints (once), sway bar end link (once), cam shaft synchronizer (once), O2 sensor (once), any of these too much? about all I am disappointed about is having to replace hood release cable twice. Next time I go out looking for a car I will check here first, because it sounds like there are cars I don't know about that run longer that don't have periodic mechanical failures. [/QUOTE]
