    Thanks all! It spent most of its life in Portland, OR, which is why the body and frame are in such good shape (no salt on the roads).

    Since I bought it, I've bathed the frame and underbody in Fluid Film to further preserve it. Can't wait to hit 300k! :taco:

    The dreaded frame rust-out. I had 10 months left on the extended 15 year warranty when I found holes in the frame.


    Oh...mine is the limited, so it has the different seats.

    regarding the seats, are yours the one's with manual lumbar adjust or the power? I have the manual lever

    Has your truck been in the same area of MO since it was new? I am pretty sure that the winter climate there is very similar to where I am at in eastern NE but perhaps has more ice storms? ... I am tentatively headed down i70 from my uncle's in Sedalia on July 20th to a TW mod day in the St Louis area. have you heard or been to that? It's mostly 3rd gens but they appear to be friendly to 1st gens in need of TLC to keep on truckin

    I have the power lumbar adjustment.

    I bought my truck certified, used with around 15K miles on it. It came out of northern Arkansas. Other than that it has been in the STL area its entire life.

    I haven't been to a mod day at GT's yet. Seems like I always have something going on when they have them, although wouldn't mind going just to give moral support. The last mods I had planned were done when my frame was replaced. Definitley go...they are a bunch of good and knowledgeable guys, and gen doesn't matter.

    I won't be able to go to this mod day either. We are getting to go on vacation and I have to get my boat out of storage before vacation starts.

    At 283,000 Miles it broke the top timing chain gear , took that as a sign to to a complete rebuild . Now at 300k Miles i broke a lower ball joint. currently replacing ALL ball joints and inner and outer Tie rods and new Strut assemblies and rear shocks. I got the truck when it had 180K miles on it.

    31x10.50/15s. Slight body lift and level. 3” front 2” in rear. 2300 watt stereo system. 20% window tint.
    97 with 227k. Besides regular maintenance, I’ve had to replace the starter, radiator, drivers manual window regulator, tcase output shaft seal and an oring on the line going into the ac condenser. Less than $1000 in repairs in 22 years. FYI get a 2.7l four cylinder. Its a larger version of the tried and true 22RE and it uses a timing chain not a timing belt.
