Nothing has gone wrong with car yet, other than it needs new oil lines.

General Comments:

It's a great truck that I can and will take anywhere. It has been very well taken care of; the inside is nice and I like the outside look of the vehicle. It has a powerful 4.3 that can cruise down the highway nice and it always starts. It has never let me down!

Faults:

Heater core went out on it.

Window motor broke.

Hinges on both front doors are falling off.

Hole in the gas tank.

Only the speedometer and odometer work on the dash lights.

Back window blew out when I hit a bump

Of course the A/C doesn't work.

NOTHING ELECTRONIC WORKS, WHATSOEVER.

General Comments:

I love this truck, it has always been reliable to me. It is in good shape for being 16 years old.

It has the normal wear and tear, but handles nice, and is still pretty fast and just as powerful as it always has been. Until everything electronic quit in it.

General Comments:

My biggest complaint is the fuel injector (spider) problem. Spent $2000 in 3 years for the fuel injector alone. And the bad part is a lot of places have this in stock, so it must be a regular problem with this particular fuel injector.

Plus having to replace the fuel pump each time we replace the injector, bumps the cost up to $2450, & then you add the starter & flywheel being worn out from trying to start it with the fuel injector going bad, makes it $2865.

I am an ASE certified mechanic, so I fix it myself, & if I had to take it into a shop it would cost more. I miss my Toyota truck!!

Faults:

Engine went out at about 145,000.

Rear window switch was worn out.

Rusted quarter panels and around fenders.

Driver seat sown up.

Heater Core replaced at 150,000.

General Comments:

The SLT has very nice padded leather seats.

While the performance is so so it still has some real acceleration.

Tight turning radius.

4wd can come in handy at times.

Some good space in the back when seat is folded down.

Really the only problems I've had with it was the EGR, in which resulted in making my truck seem as though it was missing, and cutting out! All I did was for one replaced my spark plugs, and wires, and then I just whacked my EGR a few good times! And believe it or not, I have had no problems from the EGR out of it since.

Also, I had to replace my power break booster! You talk about one hell of a job! And the last problem I've had was my starter went out, but that really ain't a problem with the truck, that's just normal wear and tear!

General Comments:

Overall this truck has been a pretty good truck! I really like it. It runs great, it's pretty good on gas, and it handles well also!
