You might want to watch out for the cat and the bushings getting dry-rot, also the ball joints. I just hit 59k 2 days ago.

my cat went out at almost 84k and my engine coil went out at 72k only problem i have had besides the tranny slipping 2nd gear which started around 57k but is now fixed when i changed the trannsmission oil and filter. other than that my truck has ran great and the coil was $52 and the cat was $164 installed. i think thats not too bad my truck has 84500 miles on it now.

Nah, Intense, just two! You can take them and duct-tape them inside the intake. Reduces pinging and causes a jet-engine effect which improved velocity into the cylinders and increases compression by 100:1! Woo hoo! AFTERBURNERS! YEAH!
