You need to save up for a new one before this one starts having issues

Don I dont think this one will have many issues. Biggest thing I have to watch out for is the upper ball joints. And the only reason they are a concern is because of the leveling kit I have installed. But that is what the aftermarket is for.

I know they do Don. But I stay on top of the truck pretty well. I need to put a new serpentine belt on soon. Still running the original belt.
