Hiyah, Gap.
Bought a 99 on a lease return in 2002.
So far, I've replaced :
Vehicle speed sensor
Upper ball joints went , had to replace them, (Fix them as soon as you feel a problem, mine wiped out a newer set of BF goodrich all terrain TA's)
Water pump
belt tensioner
right front hub (as it has the sealed wheel bearing in it.
Generally minor stuff, but otherwise a very reliable truck. never been on the back of a hook. Comfortable, only got the 318 (5.2L) but respectable acceleration and great road control and off roading.
These concerns started around 70,000 miles and now has 87,900.
Watch the engine oil pressure, and change that oil religiously. Haven't had the oil pressure loss happen if I change that filter no more than 3,000 miles.
Good luck
