Yes, and our 2004.5 Chevy D/A CC LB 4X4 truck, ordered new, only been used for RV'ing (11'4" Lance TC or 29' Carrilite 5th wheel 12,840 lbs actual scaled weight ready to leave), is nearing 160k miles and the front end/steering is still tight as if it's new. Has never been touched other than the front disc brake pads being replaced at 122k before leaving on a very long trip (still had 30%+ pad left). Truck has seen off-roading use many times when unloaded on un-improved 2 track forest trails, rutted/washouts, up and down rough steep hills and dunes, but not rock climbing as we don't have hardly any around in our region.
I too ask WHAT in the heck you have been doing to your truck, danojeno? Lack of maintenance etc?
Other than one idler arm on one 1984 6.2L diesel Chevy truck, I never had to replace any front suspension or steering parts on any of our GM trucks including all the ones I had for my long time business and several of them over the years had over 200k when sold. All were purchased new.
