Default Wallet is a little lighter, but truck should be good to go for another 90K

Just picked it up from the indepent.
  • Timing belt
  • Both idlers
  • Water pump
  • Thermostat
  • Full coolant flush
  • Transmission flush
  • Both diffs
  • Transfer case
  • New serp belt
  • Cabin air filter
  • Oil change
  • Engine air filter

It wasn't a cheap one, but I suppose if I continue to treat the old girl good, she will continue to serve me well. I really do love the truck, and as someone who is notorious for only holding onto a car for a year or two, it feels good to invest in preventative maintaince and know the truck will continue to serve me well.

Thumbs up

Nice. I'm assuming you did the 'large' 90K. As long as you take care of her, she'll take care of you!

Cheers,

not doing brakes now because i will replace pads and have the rotors turned within the next 6 months, doing fluid flush at that time.

spark plugs are not on the service schedule until 120K
