2008 Silverado 1500 200Kms - What to replace?

[DBK81]

Guys coming up on 200,000 kms so was at a cross roads to either maintain my '08 or pony up the dough and buy something new. I like not having a truck payment so I've decided to go the route of upgrading what's worn out. So far this is my list

 

Brakes - rotors, pads, shoes & drums

Upper/lower ball joints

Tie rods

Possible air bag suspension in rear

New Tires

 

What else should I be looking at especially in my front end?

 

 

Thanks

If there's some good topics already out there, don't be afraid to point me in that direction.

Quite frankly, the list can be as exhaustive as your wallets permit.

 

Your list is a good start but we don't know what you have done recently..

 

I would also like to point out that wheel bearings, ALL suspension bushings, mounts, and engine/transmission seals would be impressive.

 

Definitely keep us updated on the progress!

Have you kept up with all your fluid changes? Belts, hoses?

Personally I wouldn't touch the frt end unless it's loose or wearing the tires... Do fluids just regular maintenance save the $$$ for when something breaks jmo I've thrown so much money I. Trucks in the past doing "preventive" stuff than I care to admit... Most all of it was wasted.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

I will say though if the front end is still tight get an alignmentSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think next week we are going to put it up on he hoist and go through and see what needs to be replaced, I want to make sure my front end is tight before I put new rubber on, will drop fluid in the diff's as well when I do the work, would like to get another 2 years out of the girl, then hopefully the 2015 Duromax's will start popping up used with low km's.

And yes I forgot to mention wheel bearings, when we have it up in the air I'll be checking all the seals and will replace any that are looking suspect.
