2003 44K miles: Probably built on a Thursday. HVAC controller fixed under warranty, Power steering pump replaced not under warranty. All the windows freeze up under 20 degrees, the right rear window has stuck for no apparent reason twice now. The stereo did not make sound for no apparent reason once. The driver side windshield wiper has no pressure on the glass and floats over rain above 55mph, the front bumper is rusting on the inside at the corners and the chrome trim on the quarter panels are bubling and creasing.

Now I otherwise love this truck, but it was not made with the same attention to detail my trusty 89 Fullsize Jimmy, 95 K1500 Chevy Silverado and 98 K2500 Chevy trucks were. Not as bad as your typical Monday or Friday build but close enough and not a whole lot to brag about when it comes to the build quality. I just hope she stays together long enough for me to put 100K on her.

01' LB7 with 82,000 miles / 2560 hours. Tailgate Straps replaced, couple of light bulbs, cd player shows err occassionally. Other than that, it has been great. I am pleased with the value it is holding and the mileage, even while towing my 1977 Airstream 31' Excella 500! Gets about 15 mpg. Unloaded running about 1850 rpm, I get about 21.50 per gallon.

58.5K miles - DLR bulbs (2x), LR brake light, Both rear axle seals early in her life, tires at 45K, and the tailgate cables. Life would be great if diesel would come down below gasoline prices again!
