Today I had to replace the power steering pump on my 99 Dakota
and thought about how little I've had to fix on my truck since I
bought it new:
factory tire that exploded with only 14,000 on it
catalytic converter
camshaft position sensor
rear wheel speed sensor
battery (my own fault)
Not bad, huh?

98 Dak with almost 60k miles
Warped rotors
Had to replace both front calipers due to the pistons being cracked to hell
Blew front right tire at around 50k miles
Replaced all 4 tires at around 50k w/ Bridgestone Dueler APT3's
And that's all really...although I've screwed it up pretty bad from wrecks, deer, off-roading stupidity, etc.
