When it rains it pours
All right, looking for a little sympathy here and a word of support. Over the last month I have:
Blown out my intercooler hose
Replaced U-joints
Replaced front drive shaft
Replaced Turbo blow off valve (Forgot exact name)
Having tranny re-built
Replaced injectors
Needless to say, I have gone through a boatload of money but I love my truck a 2003 2500 4x4 with 170K that has been bullet proof up to this point. I must say, my local shop has been fantastic, they are honest, fair, willing to work with me and up front but I am a little discouraged...

Blown out my intercooler hose
Replaced U-joints (Not unusual, wearable part)
Replaced front drive shaft (no reason given, maybe from the previous u-joints?)
Replaced Turbo blow off valve (Forgot exact name) (Wastegate? OK)
Having tranny re-built (170K may have been done)
Replaced injectors (Happens)

I wrecked a Bronco back in the early 1990s and while it was getting fixed I would stop in and check on the progress. The guys at the shop kept telling me it could have been worse and I finally asked how, their response was "It could have been a Chevy".
Anyway all this work is still cheaper than a new truck.
