I just got my Takata replaced, and at the same time I had the dealer diagnose most of the stuff wrong with the truck. Heres the list
CEL - Fuel tank Evap system – new sending unit and vent
valve
No cruise control - Brake pedal switch
Air bag light – impact sensor
No A/C – ac belt tensioner seized, belt snapped
Power steering leak – input shaft rusted, which rekt seal, replace
power steering box
Rear brakes – rusted
rotor rekt pads, replace rotors and pads
Rear windows dont work without fuckin with them - Rear window regulator/motors
rear doors fill with water - window seals?
Known problems:
TPMS – sensor is bad
Driver side mirror cracked
Bed badly dented
Vaugely impending issues
Sometimes wont shift out of 4wd – front axle actuator?
A pulley squeaks
Never had a problem with the engine or trans though.
REPEAT AFTER ME: A Chevy will run poorly longer than most
cars will run at all.

Doors I’ve dealt with (few, admittedly) have drains that are litle more than holes punched in low spots. Movable windows allow some water through into the door cavity. Pull the door cards and remove any accumulated gunk. At the same time you can check on the window regulators.

I pulled the little rubber bumpers at the bottom of the doors, so now they dont fill with water

kinda sounds like your truck went for a swim at some point.

Airbag switch will save your life, brakes will also - sounds like jobs 1 and 2 to me.

I have a Chevy van that I bought for $200 just for 6L/4L80E. It’s got 260k miles, but has good compression in all cylinders. Nothing but the speedo works in the cluster, the interior is completely gone, and it’s got a sticky 1st to 2nd solenoid in the tranny. I have driven it daily for the past year and have done nothing but filters and oil. It’s got an exhaust leak and it idles rough sometimes. It’s never once hard started, stalled, or died. The electrical system is pretty fucked. When the headlights are on and you activate the blinkers, it makes both sides flash only in the front. I never drive it at night, so I have no interest in fixing that.
I do plan to remove the drivetrain at some point and scrap the rest. I actually like driving it around and have found it pretty useful to have. 3/4 ton cargo vans are pretty versatile. I think I might try to find one in better shape and have an LS Volvo 240 wagon on the side.

But it’s already running poorly at 10 years old.

In the unlikely event I had to buy a car, it’d be something with every airbag and safety feature known to man. Probably a Volvo. And it would have to be an automatic b/c wife ...
