more problems

Does anyone feel like it will never end? At first I had the infamous intake o-ring problem and after I fixed that my transmission went out. It turned out that it was so bad that I just replaced the whole unit. Now I have had an exhaust leak develop where the pipe meets the manifold. I looked and there is a chip on the manifold so now I will have to replace it. I bought this truck last August and have had more problems out of it than anything I have ever owned. I didn’t even list the smaller stuff or the normal routine stuff. I guess I was just wondering if anyone else felt that way. I kind of think that it is because it’s a 2001 the first year they made the ST and haven’t had the kinks worked out yet.
