Hey Wellmax you should call a dealer and see I got a 2000 GMC when I called they had a recall on the wheel speed censor. And the tailgate cables were also replaced under recall.

RE: Finally turned 200,000!
 

On mine I had to:

1. replace 4 wheel drive actuator
2. replace a U-joint
3. replace front rotors
4. replace all four shocks
5. all fluids
6. recharge A/C
7. new battery

...considering all but the actuator were regular maintenance I figure its not bad. I need a window motor soon and a possibly another (different) U-joint, but that's it. Just turned over 92,000.

damn you guys are making me feel bad because i run the crap out of my truck, half my commute is through baltimore city with plenty of redlights and rough roads, not to mention i like to go four wheeling. mine did get a new battery last year and new shocks, and a wheel bearing come to think of it. but thats basic wear. then again my rear diff is about to go out, im gonna throw a detriot true-trac in it before it leaves me hanging, exspecially in the middle of baltimore city haha

RE: Finally turned 200,000!
 

Wow 200,000 that's great, I guess it's not all that uncommon anymore my 88 has 160k on her.

RE: Finally turned 200,000!
 

SWEET! Im lookin forward to my 200k mark. im half way there with my '02 and have had no issues what so ever. Goes to show what routine maintnence prevents. I do however need to drop the pan on my tranny andslap a new filter in there. But thats it.
