Lost 1 unit bearing and one axle joint at 80k replaced with EMS offroad hub kit and greasible axle joints.

In-tank lift pump done by dealership, mine was a little weak but still working fine never got below 5psi at WOT they took it upon themselves to replace.

Front main seal just started getting wet, nothing to worry about but im getting it in under warranty this year some time.

Istalled a SBC CON OFE when i ramped up the ponies

No other issues with truck 80k miles and counting. lots of heavy towing through from CA to Montana during that 80k 14k lbs flatbed, 16k lbs stock trailer and an occassional 20k lbs equiptment trailer.

Truck specs 305/555 6 spd QC LB 4x4 came with 4.10's now equipt with 3.73's changed by the dealership. the build sheet had 3.73's truck got setup with 4.10s at around 10k miles they caught their error after a few complaints from me. the 4.10s were miserable through the mountains and in these western states with our speed limits ect im much happier with my gears for towing my loads. but that was my only other gripe, that they way over geared this thing at first.
