Oh, I do keep it clean. I'm actually pretty anal about that sort of thing. I've had to replace a steering arm when the kid smacked into the house once, but the truck has not been ragged very hard and is holding up remarkably well.

The shocks aren't leaking, but have gotten rather "soft". I think I'll rebuild them just for the sport of it

But tips like how to rebuild the shocks and checking the tranny gears for "waves" is just the sort of info I was looking for.
