[QUOTE="Steve Wolfe 3, post: 1024683, member: 67437"] I bought my ST new in 2001, 4X4, automatic with 4.1 limited slip, premium sport grp. It is just getting ready to turn over 100,000 and I'm trying to decide if I should get something else. My primary concern is reliability. The truck recently had to have the fuel pump replaced, so I have that out of the way. Back in 2009 I had a transmission valve body gasket blown out around low/reverse servo which was repaired. No other serious problems. I've kept up with the recommended services and oil changes have been at 3-4,000 miles. The truck has never been used for towing or hauling much weight. The only known problem is that the wiring harness in the steering column has a problem that only shows up if you lower the steering wheel, so we don't. I would really like to try to squeeze another year or two out of this, but not if it means significant failures and high maintenance costs. I know transmission failures have been an issue, but what else should I be aware of with this age and mileage? [/QUOTE]
