My '01 just turned 150K miles (still with the orginal lift pump) and running like new. What maintenance does everyone suggest I do/have done to keep her running this way. I appreciate your help!!!!!!

To start with:

• Check the valve lash; adjust as needed
• Flush and replace brake fluid
• Flush and replace P/S fluid
• Pressure wash external heat exchangers (radiator, condenser, intercooler)
• Replace fan clutch
• Replace serp. belt
• Clean fuel pre-screener
• Check starter contacts; replace if needed
• Locate all body and frame ground points; clean and reassemble with dielectric grease
• Flush and replace coolant
• Replace batteries; my red Optimas are doing great after 5 years
• Check intake heater relays (search TDR); see grid heater relay replacement for better relays
