PrecisionX Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I drive my 2001 a lot. I have done a lot to it as well though. It’s a Texas truck that’s been in New England for about 7 years now. I’m wondering what I should expect to crap out next and what I should plan for or do for maintenance next. Bought at 124,000 Currently at 189,000 Done: New Tires Drive belts Rear drums cleaned and put back together Front Pads/Rotors Front and Rear Dif Serviced Shocks/Struts at 135k? Alternator Sway bar links and bushings front and rear Wheel bearings repacked Ball Joints Radiator Fan Issues: Passenger Rear door is stuck shut. The electronic lock works (lock and unlock) but the exterior door handle is a dead fish and the interior handle doesn’t work either. Not sure what to do here beyond taking the interior panel off which my mechanic said I’d have to destroy since the door can’t be opened to safely remove it Muffler connection rusted so the muffler is hanging by the hangers and not connected to the rest of the exhaust. Might be a simple exhaust shop fix CEL for P1104 I believe. Sensor replaced but the code came back. Valve cover gasket leak *Minor* Thats about it but I’d like to get 250k out of this thing. No significant rust other than minor surface on rear 3rd of the rocker on one side. Frame is CLEAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
