I have a '04.5 I bought new and I must be one very luck fellow. The only failure I have had is a water pump in 12 years and 188k miles. I do routine maintenance and go about my life with not extra concerns about the truck. I use it as a DD and a TV for our 32' Montana. Our towing usually consist of long 2 week multi-K mile plus trips to Montana or the Black Hills, thought last year we were gone 7 weeks and 7k miles to several points in the NW. I am not afraid to hitch up at anytime and head to where ever we want to go with no worries. I do not carry extra parts for this truck nor have I for any of our other vehicles in over 50 years of travels for work or pleasure. All of my vehicles have been Chrysler products and I put well over 100K miles on several of them with no break downs away from home. Just my .02$ worth.:)
