I just bought one for the wife a few months back. Anyone know anything that I should keep an eye on?

Just a quick tip on the ball joints. My 97 had them go out, and the dealer said it was a $1,000+ fix because they were all one piece with the control arms. BS I said. Bought some aftermarket Moog's I believe, drilled out them old ball joints, and the new ones bolted right in. Cost was about $70-80.NAIL BENDER said:"03" SLT Quad Cab 4x4, 4.7L V8, 5 spd Auto 5-4 RFE. The wife loves it. Has a lot of power and the back seat has plenty of room for the kids.
I will be changing over to Amsoil synthetic in 500mi. Thanks for the ball joint info, I will watch them and try to needle lube the ones that are sealed.
Thanks Joe
