Re: Boy do i love new trucks!!

All in all makes me feel good about all the stuff I had to do on my 03 dodge w/210,000km before we went to yellowstone.

Replace defrost door ($15 parts, 8 hours labour to remove dash)
Replace intermediat steering shaft
Replace steering box
Add more oil to diffs (seals leak)
Fix leaking water pump

I keep reminding my wife that if we had a brand new truck, it might also give us headaches too.

The thing that gets me the most is the down time. I had to spend time fixing my truck. Guys with new trucks gone bad get to spend a lot of time going back and forth to the dealer. It adds up to days, real fast.
