The wiper blades are expensive (airfoil type). If they're showing signs of age try and get them replaced before taking delivery. Brakepad life is like Tracy said, a constant battle. The windshields on these things are also suspect to pitting. The nose of the truck his horribly susceptible to chipping. C pillar trim on the inside tends to crack. Rear doorlatch rattles. Somewhere in the middle of Y2k they added extra weatherstripping to the front and rear doors. Previous years didn't have it on the rear doors. The center consoles tend to warp a bit and lose their fit. There have been reports of machinegun doorlocks, also early. I don't think they've fixed the fuel sending unit problem and the fuel pumps tend to go out. I think the fix was to change to a larger fuel filter. The auxilary driving lamps take H3 bulbs. To activate use option 6 on HHT. I think CD skipping problems should have been fixed by MY2000. The moonroof weatherstripping tends to separate. You don't see this part because it remains inside the roof. The moonroof also can be adjusted to to minimize noise. My battery failed in its third year of service, surprisingly early, but we had a cold winter that year. The rear seats tend to rattle a little but these can be tightened down. I think the transfer case should be the new one with 48/52 torque distribution. I can't think of too much more really.
