common faults is the torque converter on the 4.6, but lets keep our fingers crossed. tension strut bushings cause vibration when braking. get an alignment so your tires dont fail to quick. check your voltage off the alternator for a good charge. check your battery voltage. when your doing the valley pan gasket ask them to PLEASE install a new oil seperator with the insulating covers and a new ccv with all new hoses. this is what will get you through the winter time. I always start my car and let warm up fully in 32 degree and colder. this truck needs to be pampered and it will reward you with sweaty armpits and heavy breathing, as well as wet hands. good luck. any questions hit me up

i pulled out of my extended warranty and got a refund. i am putting the money aside in-case i need it. but a wise person on this forum once told me. they ARE a business and they DO make money. too many horror stories, it seems like they pick and choose what they will cover day to day.

GORGEOUS X! enjoy :)

Thanks guys for the response. I know they replaced the CV boot\Bearings\Bushings new brakes\tires\aligned. Just got it towed because the coolant leak and quite sure its just the valley pan gasket, thanks for noting replaces hoses almost missed that one. They covered everything changed with a 1 year warranty in writing.

BTW do any of you guys know anything about GM PP Extented Warranty Canada. I'm pretty sure BMW wont go direct because its an 02. Normally I dont worry about extended warranty because my cousin has a shop back in Jersey but Canada I have no connects what so ever.
