Mileage	Problem
2000 4x4 ClubCab with a 4.7l_V8 engine, built in the Warren,MI plant; sequence number 560458
0	Zero miles found left rear wheel well mud strip hardware loose from nutplates. Also note that wheel well mud strip paint color is not an exact match to exterior paint color. Must have been painted separatly.
10	10 miles wheel alignment off, truck pulls to right.
80	80 miles automatic transmission was not shifting correctly. Found fluid level to be a pint low. Added fluid which corrected problem... no leaks found.
100	100 miles found plastic lines approx. 1/4 inch diameter to front brake calipers not attached to supports; therefore, they were just blowing in the breeze and chafing on inboard side of front wheels. Snapped them back in place myself without hassling with dealer. No damage noted.
6000	6000 miles when applying brakes truck vibrates heavily. Suspect front disc brakes to be warped... have not taken into dealership at this time. (Note brakes may not be able to handle weight of vehicle thus causing brakes to overheat and warp.) Are there any upgrades that your aware of?
6200	6200 miles I can hear a high pitch whining with truck in park. I have an automatic transmission so I don't believe its a throw-out bearing. Seems to be louder at night when headlights are on and the sound changes tones when I press on brake pedal. Could it be an electrical problem or component? Have not taken into dealer at this time.
