Let's see, hmmmmm.

Ah, yes - blown fuse in CD changer when I picked it up new, bent retainer tab on right bottom rear door stop. Both corrected in 5 minutes.

And .... map light bulb on drivers side blew at 2,500 miles - bulb not available at most auto parts shops around here. Dealer replaced.

Only "complaint" is a lot of down shifting when towing up hills, and 12mpg town/15mpg hwy/10mpg towing. But, not to bad, as I am used to my 99 PSD 250 SD that almost never down shifted when towing (torque monster, and gave about 3mpg better milage. But, the diesel did not have the zip the V-10 had!

Handles well - but a little mushy on the front end, but seems to turn easier than the 250 did. Excellent ride, no squeeks, ratles, or any other problems!

I don't believe I have seen any come in yet for any warranty repairs. I like them, and would like my wife to buy one instead of that p.o.s. Chevy conversion van she has.
