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.

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
