Reading this board can lead to a biased picture of a repair-prone, head-gasket-eating monster that will attack your wallet with reckless abandon and leave you stranded at the slightest provocation, because nobody tells you when it's working handily. The reason I'm creating this topic is to give a less biased picture to people regarding this truck. It's really been extremely reliable and I suspect many others are too. Not mods, just repairs. PM doesn't count, so if you did your HG for giggles, that doesn't count. This also doesn't include baselining, belts, fluids, or the cost of the stickers on your rear hatch. The repair has to have been something that was actually broken.

We'll go first:
==============================
What repairs have you had to do?
The silicone intake hose, at 85 dollars, had a gash in it. New injectors were the only other necessary thing at roughly $200 (thank you for the howto @george_tlc ). We also did a new cap, wires, plugs, cleaned the upper intake manifold, none of which were necessary (or really even worn), so I'm not counting them.
How much have your necessary repairs cost you, roughly?
Just about 285 dollars, and a lot of time and curse words.
How many miles have you put on the truck?
About 10,000 in the year we've had it.
