Known Issues
Intake Manifold Cracks:
Certain model years (prior to significant redesigns) were susceptible to plastic intake manifold cracking, leading to coolant leaks. The 2005 model typically uses an updated design but is still a point to check.
Rear Air Suspension:
Early models with rear air suspension could experience leaks or compressor failures; 2005 models mostly use coil springs, but air suspension was an option on some variants.
Drive Shaft Universal Joints:
U-joints can wear over time, especially with high-mileage or heavy-duty use (like police duty), leading to clunking noises.
Body On Frame Corrosion:
Like many body-on-frame vehicles, rust can be an issue in areas with harsh winters and road salt exposure, particularly on the frame rails and exhaust system.
