    The cam actuator first failed at 57,000 miles in 2009. It now has failed again at 94,000 miles in march 2013, the cost to repair this is approx $900.00 each time. I can get milage from my tires at a lower cost. This is an item that should not a normal maintenance item. This truck has been a lemon from day one. *tr
