That truck has ~77k miles on it now and has been in the shop for one recall (weatherstrip). Otherwise, it has been flawless...and I have put it to the test on several occasions!

I was just giving you a hard time about the Mopar's
, all the big three have their problems. Mopar's did have quite a few tranny problems back in the mid to late 90's, my brother & I both had our Mopar vehicles in the shop with the tranny's being rebuilt at the same time and both of them had less than 70K on them. I'm a GM guy and I know they had some head gasket & intake problems on a few of their engine's around that same time and Fords, it could be anything. Since 1986 I've not owned a vehicle long enough to go out of warranty before I trade it in, now the wife other hand has run over the milage warranty before the time limit on every vehicle she's had. We both bought new GMC's a year ago this month 0% financing and a 100,000 mile warranty, mine has 12,xxx mile's her's had 28,xxx last time I looked a month ago or longer.
