So my truck rolled over 137k last week, and I have been trying to get a list together of what things to look at/replace on "Terero".

So what I'm going to do is start a list, with things I have already done or have planned for near future. Just copy the list, and add your entry in bold/italics/underline, whatever.

And I know it's funny guys, but please don't add the dumb stuff, like blinker fluid, muffler bearing, etc. Please.

damn man your beating me now and i got a 3 yr head start haha.

where can i get this blinker fluid?

 

That's what multiple 630 mi round trips from home to school do for you.....

VatoZone.

 

that kinda sucks man. im a 200 mile round trip from home which isnt too bad.

i was just there yesterday haha i couldnt find any i need some sooo bad

 

change your motor oil if you havent already.....dont see how you pulled off 137k on original oil =P
check your tire pressure, wiper fluid, coolant. =P
jmwy derek, i just got my lower ball joints replaced and alignment cams installed the other day and man....my truck feels a whole lot stronger and rigid. i think im goin to replace shocks next, and tomorrow i am getting my wagner thermoquiet ceramics for the front =]

 

have you changed the air in your tires?

yea when i move to austin its gonna be about 350 miles! not lookin forward to that!!!!

 

pitman arm/idler arm check/replace as needed
airfilter relpace/clean if K&N
check radiator hoses replace as needed
thermostat, replace before needed
load test battery
grease all the stuff you've already replaced

 

and i dont see coolant flush, id check the spare out to....see if its full of air/able to hold air.....i needed mine a while back and it was flat

umm....fuel filter, wheel bearings, pulleys...

 

Fuel filter has been replaced, but forgot to list.

Coolant flush has been done twice......because my heater core took a dump twice within 3 months.

I will update the list tomorrow. And show my dad this weekend.

Patrick, I might need your help with a few things. I will text/call you this weekend.

 

ill be here

 

Not to hijack, but since we're on the topic of maintenance, how often do ya'll do front end alignments? Only as needed? Last I had one was in 05' after I had my lift installed. I don't notice that it pulls much and the tires are wearing even. Reason I ask is I'm getting the truck ready for a trip from MD to South FL for Thanksgiving, so I'm doing some preventative maintenance over the next few weekends to make sure she's ready to go. Thanks.

 

I'm not even sure actually. Patman will know. I'm getting one next weekend because or been noticing a strong pull to the right lately.

 

I got a lifetime one after I installed my leveling kit so I get one when ever I have time and I feel a pull or can see it's off or just go over some gnarly curbs.

I'm not sure though on a set interval but if your tires are wearing even I wouldn't think it would be a problem

 

Cool, thanks for the heads up fella's. I am getting my tires rotated and balanced before the trip, so maybe I will ask what the charge is the at least "check" it for alignment.
