first think i would check is if the intake manifold gaskets have been changed out. they are a birth defect that can be done for 100.00 if you are mechanically inclined. those are a big headache around here. look for coolant on top the engine between valve covers and intake manifold.

other then that, we all go thru fuel pumps, hub bearings and tranny solenoids.
thats all i can think of.
