I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY 6 TO 8 MONTHS EVER SINCE. TO THIS DATE I HAVE HAD 15 HEATER CORES, 2 RADIATORS, ALL HOSES, 1 MOTOR, AND 2 SETS OF GLOW PLUGS REPLACED. EACH TIME A COMPONENT FAILS I GET THE TRUCK BACK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME THAT THEY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM NOW AND I WON'T BE COMING BACK. SINCE IT TAKES 6 TO 8 MONTHS FOR THE PROBLEM TO RECUR I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LEMON VEHICLE THAT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE AND IS NOW OUT OF WARANTY.
