Now that I have rolled the 100K mark it seems like a good time to do a thorough round of maintenance. Beyond what the owners manual says, what are potential problem spots, as based on experience that I should look for? The water pump was replaced under warranty at 95K, so that took care of the pump, coolant and the serpentine belt for the next 100K. There aren't many points that can be lubed on these trucks, so what's left? I had the front brakes done at about 70K, but not the back brakes, as they were still good. So they might be a candidate. The wiper OEM blades lasted 100K, so I have no problem replacing them with the original OEM wipers. Are any of the after market wipers that much better than 100K OEM wipers?



Thanks.
 
You've probably already done automatic transmission and differrential on a regular basis and you've recently done the water pump, serpentine belt and coolant so not much needs to be done. I would have replaced the coolant hoses when you did the pump and coolant based on five years but they will probably be okay for awhile longer. Have you done the shocks?



I found on my '01 and '06 that it was wise to replace the front sealed hubs between 200k and 225k but that is based on highway driving. Rough roads might require earlier replacement.
 
I just ticked over 100K. In addition to belt, coolent, and H2O pump, I replaced the thermostat, hoses, brake and P/S fluids and adjusted the valves.
 
I see the PS pump oil has already been recommended. A drain and replace with 5. 1 brake oil would be a good thing to do as well.
