I keep up with the repairs it needs like the tie rods, linkage, steering, ball joints, u joints etc, that's probably why i havnt had to many problems. Fuel pressure lift pump or rail pressure would both be nice. Then within the next two years the body control module went out, which effected the low beam lights and radio function.
