@laneanderson5025 I've never ridden in one of these trucks and thought "wow this rides good" . It did not ride good but wasn't any worse than before, I replaced ball joints and hubs before I did that and since then I think I've replaced one hub and one ball joint and I've put 50k miles on the truck since then
The 05 has been sold for quite some time now, didn't feel like dropping 10k into a truck that I already had 20k into and wasn't worth 20 in the first place, had to make a smart financial decision so I chose to keep the first gen (which is what I really enjoy more) and bought this obs already ls swapped for dirt cheap and so far it's been more reliable than the 3rd gen
