99 AWD cargo with 120 k bought it in 01 with 75k, had bad idlers, vibrated @60....shops wanted like 200 to replace idlers did it myself for about 100 including the alignment...trany @ about 100k (reverse went)
new battery & ignition switch @about 110k , Passenger side window, and cargo door window, thanks to bums. custom drivers fender thanks to idiot school bus driver backing across an intersection and using the fender as a stop.

This truck is used for service every day in Chi, LOTS of short, short tips, lots of idling in traffic, lots of potholes....runs great! If I had the $$$ I would buy an 05. Im hoping to get an 04 next year if I can get the same type of deal.

I have a 1994 AWD with 252,000 and still driving 200 miles daily. Original drivetrain far as I know I've had it since 130,000. I replace several electrical componets. And now the 3rd egr valve ouch! But it is awsome in the snow!

My 95 had the same back hatch "electrical" problem. I fixed it my self. It wasn't actually an electrical problem, it was one of the latch rods came loose from the solenoid inside the hatch. the trick was getting the inside trim off while the hatch was closed. with a lot of patience you can loosten the trim at the bottom of the hatch enough to get your fingers or needle nose pliers in far enough to pull the latch rod(s) and release the Hatch. then it's just a matter of getting a new plastic lock bushing to replace the broken one(s) and re attach the latch rods.
I hope this helps! :-)

Correction= when I said bottom of hatch - i should have said the plastic trim (sill) at the bottom center of the glass on the inside of the hatch. The solonoid and latch rods are behind this trim.

2000 LS AWD with 47k, only had it a month but no problems to report exept really bad wind noise through the door seals. But that has subsided, figured since it only happens when it is really cold (sub 20 degrees F) that the rubber shrinks a bit and allows the extra clearance for the wind to come through.
