I did have to replace the Getrag 5 speed in my truck at just over 200k miles. At that time, parts were expensive for that tranny, and no one wanted to rebuild it, so I upgraded it to a New Venture instead, and have been really happy with that choice. I have had some minor front end issues, and I'm due for kingpins now, too, but nothing major. All the truly worn out stuff is in the body department.
