I love the truck and still looks new.?? I haven't had any issues with it, 
but of course now that I've said that, something bad will happen.?? The 
price of a new replacement for this truck is just obscene. I will 
probably keep it as long as it makes financial sense,?? maybe 200, 000 
miles.?? Thanks for the advice on Moog.
