I really do not want to get blindsided again by a problem with my old D200. What are some of the more common problems these trucks have and what are their solutions? I have heard the steering shaft goes bad and the heater box catches on fire. I do not know if these really are common issues or not. But examples like that are what I am looking for. Let me know what I should keep an eye out for and what I should go ahead and address. I will try and put together a list and the more pressing corrections I will place towards the top.

yep the steering shaft wears at the joint. that was even common all the way up to the 2nd gen dodges..... you would think they would have fixed it by then but oh no that would take the fun out of it....
