I am sure the winter road chems are the biggest hazard. I haven't seen any problems with the oil pan yet.
I put the dyna trac hubs on after the first winter. The factory parts were rusted so badly they had to be driven off with a hammer and chisel. We sealed the mating surfaces with silicone when putting back together.
I do remember my '03 had a different transmission. Maybe a different clutch assembly? I liked the '06 trans better.
