1998 4x4 ClubCab with a 5.2l_V8 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 540049
MileageProblem
0km loose mount on box drivers side front day one
leak in passenger floor area first time it rained really hard
driver seat clunks backwards one notch when hard accelerating
stop accelerating and the spedometer keeps increasing for another ten to fifteen km. this is from a stand still and foot to the floor accelerating till first runs out shift to second and watch your speed increase with the clutch on the floor.
5000km from a stand still you have to go to second then first to get to first or push it at first really hard for a long time. same with reverse 2nd to 1st to reverse.
20000km heinous amounts of backfiring when decelerating or going down hills some sort of low speed squeak hi speed rattle in dash behind air controls
22000km squeaking rear leaf spring drivers side
40000km tossed the bearing holder for the shaft into the rear end into the crown gear (that was noisy for a few days)

0 March '98 (Since New) - Minor engine knock w/87 oct. gas. Headers seem to have cured this.
