Mine failed first with rpm flares arount 70mph. I tried swapping fluid and it evolved to harsh rumble strips symptoms. I barely made it to the dealer with intent to trade it in. Polished the paint and detailed the interior. The salesman took my keys and drove it 100ft to someone in a bay , came back and was none the wiser. They listed it on the used car lot for 2 days and then it disappeared. I guarantee it did not survive a test drive.

uh huh, until its stolen and you have to walk. That's the problem with the 01-06.5 trucks, get one in good shape and it'll be stolen. Highly desirable and not by just us. OP, if you want reliable you're going to have to pay for it and keep up on maintenance.
