7.3 reliability

Okay, I just want to throw this out to see if others have had the same experience. I bought my 2000 f350 psd with about 50000 miles on it. Since then I have put 80000 more for a total of 130000mi. I have had to repair or replace: water pump, front bearing assemblies, all the u joints, brake rotors, a couple of calipers, rear yoke and pinion seal, clutch, rear main seal, ball joints, glow plugs and harness, cps, blown out a hpop seal, door lock actuators, and maybe a few other things I can't remember. Now today I took the truck to my mechanic to check out a vibration in the driveline and it turns out that I need to rebuild the rear differential. I love my truck but it seems like I'm having an inordinate number of issues. I baby my truck and am meticulous about maintenance. So here's the question: Is this an anomaly or is it normal to have to do so many repairs on a truck in 130000 mi? I'm starting to get discouraged this stuff is getting expensive.
