I miss having my 2003 GMC 1/2 ton Z71. Bought new the week I graduated from college, made payments that were too much. To be young and dumb again....
Drove it for 10 years. Put 228,000 miles on it. Only non-routine repairs done to it were a seeping water pump and it seemed to like catalytic converters, left one at 150k, right one at 200k, left one again at 220k, a single 02 sensor, and the famous GM instrument cluster that was fixed by a little soldering and a few $5 stepper motors off of ebay. Traded on a 'family' car, and wishing I still had it.
Current is a 2006 F250 with the dreaded 6.0. I bought it with 50k miles 5 years ago, knew what to expect with the 6.0. Now its been bulletproofed and do love driving it. Diesel maintenance is quite a bit higher, but enjoy the room and power.
