I got mine in Oct '04, the 2nd batch of trucks that were delivered to Long Beach. I seriously couldn't wait to get this truck.
I had the TSB done on the rear leafs squeaking then the actual recall to replace them, the recall for the parking brake, the fix for the compass and temperature (capacitor coming loose) and the TSB for the tailgate.
So far mine has been good to me too but I too need to have my suspension refreshed and my UCA's regreased. I also added an extra leaf when I put the rear shocks in. The Deavers are nice too!
About your right bearings, I know the right ones are known for going out first. I could hear some sort of 'buzzing sound' at low speeds (around 15-30 mph) coming from the right side but the shop I had them check it say they are ok!?!
Is your right bearing shot? I've never replaced them and I believe the 05+ are bolt on bearings and don't have to be pressed like the 01-04 right!?!
