ouch
Might just be me...but i couldn't afford the 3-5000 dollars a year to keep my 97 on the road...but then i guess i wasss driving it 15 thousand miles a year....ouch...killer dowel pin got me....2500bucks....fifth gear came off....updated nut....came off again...newer updated nut...off again...finally my dealer tacked the new updated nut on....when it came off...well...the aftermarket internals for the tranny cost 2500.....ouch....can't really remember anything not going wrong with that truck....oh...the front diff never gave up...lol...but it all might just have been my bad luck. Three years on my gmc...and i've replaced......a sensor on the transfer case.

Why was the motor and turbo replaced at 95k miles would be my first question...
Other than that it's been covered, 53 block, KDP, and 5th gear nut....

you can get out of the map for a short run, those guys are only staying twisted for a few seconds. efficiency is not the name of the game in huge horse power......fuel and luck. keep adding things that burn, cool and oxidize and hope for the best......it's all over in a few seconds anyhow.
