100k tune up

[AdamG]

Well, its about that time.

Tis been a good truck to me and I want it to last another 100k, so what all do you recomend I do for it?

 

Any and all ideas are welcome.

 

I figure : plugs, wires, distibuter, coil, fuel filter, pcvv valve, sevice the trans, change the rear differential fluid, check the brakes and replace as needed.

 

I just changed the oil last week and lubed it. I use Valvoline high milage full synthetic.

Distributor might be a tough one.

Maybe flush the coolant...

check the owners manual. there is a service schedule in there. I doubt you need to replace the coils (there are 8, one for each cylinder, no distributor)

Thanks man, any other ideas?

Here's what I'd do at that mileage: Complete Service (assuming these items haven't been performed recently)

 

Tune Up:

 

Spark Plugs

Wires

Air Filter

PCV valve

Fuel Filter

Clean Throttle Body

Induction Service (like Seafoam)

................................................

 

Fluids:

 

LOF (lube, oil, and filter)

Coolant flush

Flush trans and replace filter

Flush transfer case (4x4)

replace differential fluids

Brake fluid flush

...I always neglect my power steering for some reason

..................................................

 

Other adjustments

 

adjust parking brake

rotate tires (if necessary)

lubricate hinges, latches, window runs, weatherstrips, etc.

 

I'm sure that I'm leaving something out...gettin tired

Does anyone know if the truck (w/o towing package) comes with a transmission cooler?

I doubt a truck w/o a towing package would come with a tranny cooler unless it was specifically ordered with it.

You can add an auxilary cooler very easily, I installed a PermaCool one right in front of the ac condenser...there's even crossbars to mount it to.
