Now, I interpereted the point of this trhead a little differently - the little problems that are common on these vehicles, that we see posts about all te htime and after awhile you come to expect them.
These are the little things that are clear failures in engineering (not just teh usual random old truck things) that somebody might not have anticiptaed 20 years ago.

For example, the crack in the passenger side dahspad that appears just to the right of the center console area. I have yet to see a vehicle w/o evidence of this happening. (due to the bolt stud underneath it btw).

Or the intermittent high beams from worn contact in the steering column console.



Great example - mine's missing it too!

Others:
If you throw a rod bearing, it will be #2
Crappy contacts or worn motor in rear window
UNDERheating due to bad thermostat
hub cone washers stuck to all h$ll
Saggy rear leaf sprigs
etc etc
