I hate how slow it is
Getting sick of hearing the steering noise on slow left turns.
Got dents and scratches everywhere.
A few minor exhaust leaks.
Stock wheels are crappy.
May never get my cam installed.
Windows are slow
steering wheel, stereo and a/c controller lights are going bad.
Overall its the best vehicle I have ever owned.

My damn headers!!!! I can't tell if they are leaking or it is just the way they sound... I think I have a couple of small pin hole leaks in some of my welds on my exhaust piping cause at first start up it sounds leaky then when it gets to operating temp, no exhaust leak sound... Oh and my damn AFR at idle....

It's driving me nuts that I have no money to do any major moddin!!! Got an LQ9 shortblock and WCCH 317 heads sittin at my dad's shop collecting dust 
Not to mention a bent tailgate and rusty marks where my mudflaps used to be...no time or money for bodywork, and the mercury just dropped outside so I can't even do a quick "touch up" to prevent the cancer from spreading. Oh yea, now the front diff fluid came out grey and silver (probably carrier bearings), and I'm looking at a big job that I don't want to do unless I upgrade front and rear...or remove front and just go 2wd...maybe make a few bucks on the transfer case and front axle...hmmm...

After i got over the crappy Torque Converter problems....
Mine is being very nice to me... well except 14mpg..... that sucks but im hardly home to put any miles on it...
i cant complain..... i abuse it and it just laughs...
Now its a truck.... 7 years old goin on 8.....
Scratches like you wouldnt believe....
Rock chips that are horrendious...
Dents that happend from stupid stuff like 2 of my buddies wrestling and one threw the other into the side of the bed and put a nice lil dent.... i was under the truck doin something... i think puttin a muffler on it. well i had a hefty 12" Cresent wrench in my hand and i went to work on their chins and ankles they were bleeding and stuff... . hahah i bet they dont wrestle around my truck anymore..
got a few squeaks.... they come and go so i just turn the radio up..
i havent had any problems latley so i just go about my buisness.
oh the thing that sucks.... i was at the range shootin my AR-15.... anybody that has shot one know when the spent casings come out of the ejection port... they are moving pretty good... iv got a dozen or so chips in my paint cause i parked my truck too close...
Oh well... its a truck.... and it looks like just a truck too...

That I cant make up my mind what to do with it, Im the most indecisive person ever and my pocket book has paid dearly for it. 4 different motors, 7 transmission, swap to an 80e, a turbo kit, and tons of misc. bolt ons, Im back to a stock motor and trans, and seriously thinking about buying a radix for it.
