Coming up on 90,000 mile Service?

flyboyron · January 8, 2019

So, you can tell by the pictures, I haven't been necessarily servicing the air cleaner on a regular basis over the last 45,000 miles. I do get oil changes done when it gets down to 25%. Oh I did change the antifreeze at 5 years.

I was thinking, I have to have it smogged here in Calif. to register it this month and it's at 50% on the oil, it should be fine. Oh, I should at least change the air cleaner, that might help.

I don't worry about that stuff anymore like I used to when I was young. I did all the work myself, had all the tools, I used to keep a notebook of everything I did, the date, mileage, where I bought the parts, even kept the receipts in case of a warranty return.etc. Now it is drive it and take it in when it needs something.

When I get to the 100,000 mile mark, which the truck will be around 10 years old I was going to take it somewhere and have them do a complete service on it.

Any ball park of what that is going to run for just the basics, as long as nothing is wrong. Truck runs fine, gets good gas mileage, 17.5 with a towing rear axle.

Might as well wait for 100k, if it was me I'd change all fluids - oil, trans, t-case, axles, power steering - and then I'd do plugs and wires and the serpentine belt. I'd expect $600 or so for everything.

I just had my Denali in the dealer for a trans flush, it also has 100k on it. While I normally don't like paying the dealer extortion prices, just for the convenience I had them do the axles and transfer case, too. They charged me $550. I'll do the plugs and serpentine myself.

I don't mess with the A/C belt. It's a PITA so I just let it run until it breaks.
