Keep doing what you been doing for a 100000 miles. Just normal maint. My son has a 99 and I think he has around 104000.

Congratulations

Might want to start looking around for someone to adjust the valves if you haven't planned on doing that yourself. Not a difficult job just takes a little time and a couple of cold ones. LOL

Adjust the valves, replace the brake and P/S fluid, change any other lubes, fluids and filters that haven't been changed 'recently', check steering components for wear, check suspension bushings for wear, check the rear springs for sag, check all u-joints for wear, check the alignment, regrease wheel bearings (if possible), check most bolts for proper torque. Check the windscreen for excessive pitting (replace it if you can't see through it driving into the sun).

That should keep you busy for a week or two.

Take a pic and send it in to the TDR for the 100,000 mile club. Another month or so and I will be there!

look for another 100,000!



My 1990 gasser ford has 329,000 on it and the engine/5-speed are fine--a bit leaky, but dependable.

This would be a good time to go through the whole truck and check everything out. Look at all belts and hoses and what the other guys have mentioned in this thread. Let us know what you find needed to be corrected. I'm 50K behind you
