Bought at 110000, rebuilt front end (tie rod, track bar, ball joints, steering box - several, steering brace, installed gauges, solenoid contacts, pulled radiator for cleaning, brake pads, master cylinder, patched leaky brake hard line in driver frame rail, new brake flex lines, new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, installed AirDog, cleaned up rusty doors, replaced CKP, CMP, new bushings in leaky fuel return, installed 3rd VP @ 150K, lifetime Firestone alignment, $650 tires, fixed leaky vacuum pump seal, replaced PS pump. Sometime will need clutch & syncros. Paid several tow bills and thousands in parts.
I thought it was in decent shape when I bought it. Live & learn.

My 01 has 72000 miles on it. I replaced the lift pump( of coarse), the front brakes and rotors at 60000, the clutch at 70000 miles,the cam sensor, batteries, and the track bar( another common problem)
My front end is still tight. I still have original back brakes.(drums). I tow 75% of the time.

Steering shaft, starter, track bar rebuilt, shocks, front brakes, batteries. Replaced almost every bulb except headlights, fuel level sender, lift pump, a/c evaporator, clutch. Been a pretty good truck considering batteries, clutch, brakes, bulbs, tie rods, shocks are all wear items.
Stuff it needs now - tie rods, PS box is leaking
