Anyone else have ALOT of things breaking and going out on your trucks? I dont think it matters but mines a 99 w/144k miles

Ex.
Wheel bearings (4)
brake booster
master cylinder
V.S.S. (2)
ball joints
drive shaft
coolant leak
complete rear diff
e-brake
etc.

just curious if i got an odd duck or if im the same boat with everone else

My sister has a '99 which she's now giving to me. It would seem everything hit her at once. Odometer, gas gauge, and fuel / spark issues. I'll let you know in a few days.

Some of those problems were from lack of proper maintenance. Some are just from age. Your truck is over 10 years old after all...

Yea, I just sold a 98 blazer, and went through 3 sets of hub asbly, coolant leak, distributor, MAF, plugs, wires, trans.... the list goes on. I just bought a 2002 ZR2 and I love it, but expect things to start breaking soon lol.

You get what you pay for in terms of hub assemblies. If you get the good quality, high priced hub assemblies, they will last a LOT longer.
