    Well, I finally got rid of the taco, just got tired of having constant problems with it. Traded it in for a 2007 Dodge Ram. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's helped me out on here in the past!

    In the two years I had the taco, I had replace engine pulley bearings, 2 CV joints, all suspension bushings, 4 wheel studs, and when I traded it in, the front suspension popped and jolted the truck when I turned, I could hear metal clanking around in the tranny, and the back window leaked. I highly doubt I'll have that many problems again.

    Looking at your profile, your truck was hardly stock. Are you sure most of these problems were not self inflicted?
