How many miles do you have on your truck? That would be an indicator to problems you may or may not have.
My truck was built 7/03 (bought 1/04) and i have 16K+ miles on it.
To date:
New front brake rotors
Rebuilt rearend
New throttle body
Replaced tail light lens
Replaced outside temp sensor.
Problems some others have had but i didn't:
Vibration
Air condition not getting cold enough.

Problems:
Brakes - covered under warrenty
A/C - fixed pcm covered under warrenty
tires bald fast - replace at 35k by warrenty
little steering wheel nimble while braking downhill, never really looked at it though
Just replaced serpentine belt because of squeeks.
Other than that, its been awesome!

I've got an '04 Supercab with 38K miles on it. All of my problems have been mostly annoying ones, the most major being replacing the passenger's side cam phaser 'cause it was noisy.
I've "fixed" the brakes three times over now. Turned the front rotors once, replaced them a few months later, turned the rear rotors once, and turned the front rotors again and replaced the front calipers with the latest service parts for brake pulsation.
I've replaced the motor mounts, "neutralized" the exhaust and reprogrammed the PCM for an idle vibration.
Replaced the serpentine belt a couple times for a chirping on cold start up.
Replaced the EATC control head 'cause it was flickering on and off.
Replaced the fuel filler door latch twice.
Replaced the driver's window regulator.
Replaced the ashtray, but that was my fault 'cause I was having a bad day, got pissed off and smacked it, breaking the latch.
I don't think what I've done isn't anything out of the ordinary for a first model year run truck. It's been pretty good to me despite those nagging problems.
