Bought it used with 60k. Tranny problems started right away. Replaced intake gaskets, wiper motor, front knuckles. Plastic interior pieces broke in cold weather. Tranny finally went out and sold it. Some say the tranny problems are not true but I don't buy that. I knew of 5 other 99s in a 10 mile radius with the same tranny problems. Heck i didnt even use mine to pull anything!

On paper this is a great truck. Trouble is it could have been better assembled by monkeys. Biggest gripe is with the engine's plenum-pan gasket leaking. It causes the engine to consume oil excessively and ping heavily under load. I don't know of one of these trucks that doesn't have this problem (5.2 and 5.9L gas engines since 1994). It is neither cheap nor easy to repair.

Burns a lot of oil, lifters ticking, blows a lot of blue smoke out of the exhaust

Purchased new, no problems, except brakes needed replacement at 40,000 miles, now need it again at 75000. The fuel ecomony is not great but average for a full size truck, plenty of power to tow a 6000 boat.

I have had no problems with this pickup. The only time it has seen the garage was to replace the driver bench seat that had a manufacturers defect. The gas mileage is not so good.
