[QUOTE="Carlos Maya, post: 1021274, member: 70643"] Hey cris, :welcome: I'm no expert but here is my experience: These trucks are just great, couldn't be happier with mine. 2003 premium package at 201.000 miles all i've done is maintenance. At 175.000 and after being neglected for 4-5 years i invested $3000 (tires, valve cover gaskets, shocks, new fuel pump and fuel filter, bar end links, battery, other small stuff) the truck is pulling strong as day 1, i expect to get at least another 5 years with just minimun maintenance and small repairs if any, has never let me down or stranded in the middle of the road. -It will be good to know how many owners? -Like "Hugh" said: "check body mounts" -Everything that has to do with suspension -oil leaks, burning oil smell with some smoke is good indication that the valve cover gaskets needs to be replaced -weird noises, my ST Does not make any "weird" noises -if battery is good and the truck Hesitates to start, is good indication of a fuel pump maybe needing to be replaced -check all the windows going up and down, don't forget the rear one. This site helped me alot and the day i get a new truck i don't think i will sell my ST, there is no way i will give away the truck that i care so much for to somebody that is just not going to appreciate what i did, yeah I'm proud owner :grin: Good luck :supercool: [/QUOTE]
