5 Year Check Up

[JohnHaggerty]

Folks,

My truck is now 5 years old and has approximately 37K miles on it. 30% of the miles was spent towing an 11,000 pound fifth wheel and the remainder general driving. I’m pleased with the truck and have had only minor issues with it. I’ve done the typical oil and fuel filter changes, returned it for all recalls, but that’s about it.

With spring here I’m now able to work on the truck. Does anyone have any specific things I should be looking at as I clean her up? Here’s my current plans:

• I recently changed to two new batteries

• I’m planning on 6 new tires this summer

• Transmission fluid change and finally adding the temperature sensor for after-market gage

• A real wash and wax

•



Thanks,

John

I would also suggest you flush out the power steering fluid, and for sure flush the complete brake system, and replace the engine coolant
