Damn, Jack!! I remeber when you got that truck. Has it really been that long ago?

Jack, I am right there with you in my '04. Put a new battery in 2011 right at 100K. At 120K now still on original brakes, hoses belt etc. Engine doesn't use a drop of oil.

Total repairs to this point was a $38 EGR sensor, $60 A/C blend door, a $85 door latch, and $1.50 for a new hose clamp on a leaky power steering line.( I hate those crimp on hose clamps.) I do all the work myself, so less than $200 in 9 years isn't bad at all.

My '03 Chevy has required a bit more work to say the least.

for a 2012. I had only one service call that I recall for a mystery problem which was solved by cleaning up a ground wire connection. I have been meaning to add up the "Total Cost of Ownership" as I did keep records. Maybe later on today.
