It might be one of a handful of low-mileage 04's on the road....but I bought it back in Nov 07 w/800 miles, and now have about 28k. Its my daily driver - 40 miles a day to work and back.

I haven't touched any fluids on the truck besides obviously the motor oil, and when I had to fix a leak on the power steering pump (all new fluid about 15k miles ago). The brakes are starting to feel spongy, and slight panic stops that start to engage ABS are a little scary.

Should I replace the brake fluid? Having never touched the brake system on any car....is there a write up on how to bleed the brakes/change fluid? How about brake pads - how do you check them, and what are some good replacements? I'm sure the rotors are fine at 28k...

Rear end fluid? What oil/additives are you guys using?

Any reason to flush the coolant or any other fluids?

Any other general maintenance for 30k miles?

Thanks

 

I'd do trans flush at 30k and every 30k
