How are the brakes holding up? Have they required much attention?

Good to hear, but man you are brave!

I would be too afraid that as soon as I posted something positive, something negative would happen.

That happened to me when I was discussing EGR problems with these trucks with Tex25025 and a week later, my freakin EGR valve stuck on me.

What have you been doing.....cruising unloaded up and down a flat highway?
How many k have you put on it?
kilometres or miles?
I'm from BC & our American cousins list miles as 100,000k but mean 'miles'.
My truck just hit 108,000km; head gaskets bit it at 100,000km but I bought the truck without knowing how it was treated & suspect it was driven hard.

Really the EGR? Just replace it and save yourself the time and trouble. With what it cost to fix real issues with these trucks $200 is a bargain. Of course this is coming from a new owner who hasnt had any real issues yet. I do keep 2k in the bank just in case though. Figure anything above that I can beg borrow or steal.
