Looking to purchase this pickup. I would like to reach 200,000 miles. Do you feel the valve guides will be an issue?

Good afternoon.

As long as the services have been done regularly, yes, you should be good. no common issues I see with the guides.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY. HOW ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES WITH THE 2004 TO 2006 MODELS? THANK YOU.
