BlackX: yep, thanks! Hope yours does as well!
Zach: hehe, yeah... a little early to start modding. Not even sure how that sort of thing would affect my warranty!
Alex: Yep, I was fairly easy on it for most of the years I had it, so that probably helped... a whole lot of freeway miles... a number of long road trips, very little off-roading, so it probably makes sense that a generally beefy vehicle would be pretty darn durable for 'normal' commuting use..
Issues, let's see... I had to replace a power window motor, but that was probably at 70 or 80K. The biggie I had was exhaust manifolds and cats at about 120ish... that was painful... about $2400, and I hadn't paid the truck off yet! : O Since then it's mostly been maintenance and wear and tear items, brakes, shocks, etc. My stock shocks made it to about 170K! Again, of course, shocks will last longer on the freeway than on trails. Just about a month or so ago I had to put in a new battery and starter. I think that's the only time since the manifolds and cats that I was actually close to being 'broken down'.
Your mileage will vary, of course, depending on how, and how hard, you drive yours. Good luck... I hope you get at least another 100K! I sold mine to a friend, so I hope HE gets another 100K, too!!
