I bought a 2003 brand new in December of 2002. Mine was a short bed with the HO engine and the NV5600 manual. Kept it for about 10 years and around 110,000 miles. I never had trouble with the engine or tranny (or really anything with it).
My usual load was the trailer I still have today (12,000 pounds) with my 5500 pound boat towed in tandem.
I did add a Smarty Jr and a Jacobs exhaust brake.
That truck was great. I think with the tuner it was actually stronger than my 2012.
That is basically what i want to do eventually i would like to buy a boat and tow that when i go camping and i would like to buy a tuner and an exhaust break for the truck.
