Some of the 05's had problems with valve guide seals. I haven't had any issues though.

+1 on the valve guide seals. I had bad valve guide seals on one cylinder. The first place to look if a 05 is using oil.

05 was a good year. Things began to change in 06 and then 07.... 08....09.....xxxx....xxxx
I only put 10k on it before having the heads done, so I never experienced any of the valve seal anomalies. As I recall, there was a production change to address the seals mid year (orange vs blue or black or something like that).
My 05 rocks. "For me", nothing since then has made be consider a change...
