Sinkhole Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I love my '05 RC/SB best vehicle I've owned to date. It's a bit plain but that's okay. It's a WT but came with power windows and locks. And I'm okay with the rubber mat instead of carpet cause I trash carpets. She's been good to me too. I replaced the washer pump (My fault. filled the tank with water in the summer cause I was out of blue juice and forgot come winter and it froze and cracked the pump.) Did front brakes at 80K, plugs and wires at 85K and shocks at 50K. I have had no other issues with my truck and will probably have it at least another 5-10 years. I'm gonna need tires before winter so I figured a RC full leveling kit and a set of 285/70R17 Duratrac's are in order. And the wheels will get a fresh coat of black paint.

Chris Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think at 128k I need to go through the front end, control arms, tie rods, ball joints, springs, sway bar. Just replace everything to freshen it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just replace everything to freshen it up Not a bad idea. I've been keeping an eye on my front end and everything seems to be in order so far. It's all factory still.

Chris Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I just put 1240 miles on it from Thursday at 5pm to 5 am this morning. Pulls a little right. I need to start doing maintenance on hard parts. Also need new tires Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 My drive to Tucson kind of opened my eyes. It was nice to see 17.7 mpg going out unloaded Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 As much as I drove my truck its better to get it done sooner. In almost a year I have nearly 23k on it. 3 more weeks make it a year.

zach1990 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I wish I would've changed all mine earlier. My front end is in dire need of work at this point Sent from my SGH-I927 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white1500 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Same here, she used to feel relatively tight and now I can definitely tell that the front is on marshmellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white1500 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I should be used to it already as well but I can't stand the feeling that the steering isn't precise and tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
