Some major stuff but mostly electronic related. The only mechanical issue I remember was leaking hose fittings on the transmission. I hope the electronic gremlins have been dealt with as I am at 103K miles.

I suspect at some point I will be paying for something expensive. BTW, my indie says the shocks and struts on this bad boy are $1K each.

They usually last until about 150K miles he says.
Really? I need new struts and their like 500 including labor + the new bar
