Just checked the door on mine, it is 9/02. 85k miles and only thing replaced is alt. bracket and front axel u-joints.

03/03 here.

Headgasket replaced at 60k miles(bought the truck like that).

Upper & lower balljoints at 85k miles(I blame them on oversized tires and the fact that they are not greaseable from the factory).

Besides that, at 90k miles the truck has been nothing short of great.

My build date is September of 02. What problems did you guys have with your injectors on the 03 as i have 120,000 miles on mine.

Build date is 6/10/03 which also happens to be my birthday. Only had to replace ball joints and u-joints and we're at 105,000 miles.

the first problem i had with the injectors is that 2 of them blew and was filling the enging with diesel fuel which thinned out my oil and burnt the bearings out of my turbo. and now i think the other four are going bad because i'm having a realyl bad hard start issue i was stupid and only replaced 2 when they went bad at 103000 miles now i have 112000 miles

i also had to change a ball joint and 2 ujoints one in the front axle and the ujoint at the rear diff.
