-Front driveshaft is prone to seizing (operators fault really for not reading the manual on how to grease the CV joints) resulting in high vibration which cracks the transfer case/transmission mounts
-Fuel filter is located after the fuel pump. Fuel pump has a coarse filter in it, but very little reservoir for sediment collection.
-Original fuel tanks had a non-SMP neck which made refuelling difficult.
-Alternator mounting was poor, resulting in alternators falling off, especially when the larger alternator is installed.
-transmission oil cooler lines very susceptible to leakage, and are a bugger to route.
-Any headwind and the underpowered trucks lose any hope of keeping up with the rest of the convoy.
-Fuel tanks were susceptible to collecting water, and the operators would not drain the bottom of the tanks regularly (read never) resulting in frozen fuel lines in cold weather.
-Did we mention the brakes squeel like a pig being slaughtered?
-Injector pumps were a bugger to do. They were a second line job, but the supply system does not let second line units hold stock. First line units can hold stock, but they are not supposed to change the pump.
-If drivers ran the hose through the cab after the ex to clean it, the electronic boxes located under the cover of the doghouse would act up until the truck dried out. This normally effected the engine and the turn signals.

I could go on and on, but I am tired now.
