Default warranty gamble vs Problems

Hello GXrs..

I have an 05 that just turned 50k.... Have been debating for months on whether to purchase the extended warranty or not... Haven't had any major issues with my truck.. Only the "clunk" and the rear height sensor were replaced under warranty.

I am planning to keep this baby for at least another 100k miles....

- So here is my question - for those of you with more mileage than mine.. what kind of things have you replaced.. If anything. And what kind of costs? I am just truly trying to determine if the extended warranty is needed.

Has anyone had to have their radiator replaced? (The tech told me these are common)

I have noticed a lot of GXs around the city with the rear in the air.. I assume the height sensor is a common problem.

Thanks in advance
