Yesterday i went to my uncles shop to do my 100,000 miles maintenence procedures. I wanted to check all fluids, do the recommended maintenence and have my uncle inspect every inch. This is what i got done and what we found:
I replaced my sparkplugs with Bosch Platinum series (They needed to be replaced bad the manual wants it done every 30,000 miles i believe it the gap was almost twice the size)
Rear differential fluid was good
tranny fluid was good
CHanged the engine oil
New Air Filter
Was going to do the coolant but found my radiator is leaking just slightly out of the bottom right corner
rotated tires
checked brakes
All my belts were in great condition its been a great truck
I will be goin up in another month to get my radiator out and sent to a specialist to be rebuilt

Im drivin from SOuth OC to Dallas on Weds for a week, a 2600 mile round trip ill let you guys know how it holds up. I wish i had pictures but too bad. Kinda gives you an idea that if you take care of ur car it takes care of you. AND DONT SKIMP OUT ON MAINTENANCE Im only 19 and was able to do it all myself dont get discouraged heres the transformation you probably have seen it before but im proud ive payed for everything my parents laugh if i ask em to buy me stuff.
When i bought it wen i was 16


3 years solid, bought it with 63,000 miles now at 100,000 and have had 0 problems!

 

Nice, hope mine makes it to 100k w/o any problems, I got it at 22k at the end of last year. I'm already planning on draining my transmission and swapping to RP synchromax to get smoother shifts.

 

Nice job glad its been a good truck. I bought mine brand new when I was 16 also, and paid it off about 3 months ago. So far its been a great truck too

 

yup got mine about 9 months ago now.. bought it brand new.. just rolled onto 16k miles.

 

I am pushing close to that 100K mark also. I got just under 98000 on it so give about 3 more weeks and I will be over that 100k. This 130 miles a day adds up quick. And u might want to look into that radiator cuz if it is leaking and ur going on that long of a trip, could spell some trouble, but that is just my opinion.

 

im not worried about the leak. we measured out like a teaspoon in the 6 hours i was there. ill bring a jug of water to top her off every once n awhile

 

Well I was almost right. It took me just under 3 weeks to hit the 100,000 mile mark. I passed it on my way home and took a pic with my phone...I had to do it, haha. But yea, just thought I would let all of you know....

 

hell...if you're gonna rebuilt radiator...get an aftermarket drop-in with a oil cooler on it. then hook up oil cooler some time in future...

 

lol i was excited when i hit 50k miles. i took a picture.
i bought mines used with 40k miles on it when i was 16. now it has 52k 3 years later and still doing payments about 50 percent paid off.
ugh im better off trading it in or selling it cuz it feels like the payments will never stop.
within the 3 years of owning my truck i never serviced it once not even oil change or tire rotation and i never had a problem with it besides running the battery low listening to the radio with the engine off.

 

Change your oil if you haven't already, don't run your truck w/ oil that has been sitting in it for 3 years.
