100k maintence

Hohmanb · 01-31-2006, 08:30 PM

my baby just turned the big 100,000 and i want to treat her right, so what are some things i should have replaced or checked? She's a 93 Limited 4x4 with a brand spanking new tranny. I'm thinking like brakes and springs and wires and plugs and bears, oh my...no but seriously, what should i have done as far as 100k mile maintence?

coolant flush, replace all the brake fluid, fuel filter, tune up (plugs, wires), power steering flush, change both differentials fluid, air filter, and possibly a new sepentine belt.

Things to check are: ball joints, tie rods (inner and outter), u-joints (may want to just replace them), brakes, brake lines, trans and oil fluid level, and check your parking brake adjustment.

Other than that, not a whole lot. Check your lights, possibly hook up a scan tool and graph out your O2 sensors to see how they're doing.

I would check everything. check all the ball joints and bearings. if the bearings are tight, just clean them out and repack them. make sure all the steering components are tight and have no slack. Is this a stock ex? if so check stabilizer links, make sure shocks are not leaking, springs not cracked, have alignment checked. check all the brakes and replace as needed. do a tune-up. run some fuel system cleaner through it. change the differential fluid if it has been awhile. change the t-case fluid, id flush the tranny but you said it was new so dont worry about that. maybe even flush the cooling system. check belts and hoses. test battery and alternator, etc. just check everything really. obviously, i wouldn't spend the money on new parts unless they need to be replaced. I work for midas and we will check everything out if asked. it is a little easier when a lift can be used and the right test equipment is at hand.-tom
