100K

Just breached the 100,000 miles threshold. What are the true considerations from a maintenance perspective. I know plugs are 120K. I know what the manual says, but what is the consensus amongst owners. Thanks.

 

When it comes to maintenance, there is no consensus. Can't even agree on when to change the oil. You're going to get a bunch of answers.

I'll say this, the maintenance guide in the book is the minimum maintenance for a a truck having an easy life. If you tow, off road, or drive in dusty conditions you should do stuff more often than it says. Besides, you'll never hurt it doing maintenance a little more often/early.

 

If nothing is failing, squeaking, worn, rattling, grinding and you've done all the necessary maintenance within the manual within the right time, then there's really nothing to do.

If you've done nothing but oil changes, expect a decent list of things to inspect and posibily replace.

 

Coolant flush, transmission fluid, serp belt, tcase if you haven’t done any of those yet

 

Unless you've done them in the last 30-50k, then all fluids (tcase, engine, trans, diffs, brakes, coolant, steering) and filters (intake and cabin) and spark plugs and grease all the zerks. Not much else to do.

 

Thanks gentlemen. Have had more than oil changes accomplished...but not much.

 

In general, i usually take whatever the manual says, divide the mileage by 2, and I never have issues with my cars.

 

When you change the serpentine belt it's always a good idea IMO to replace the tensioner pulley at the same time. I know from experience ( and not the good kind).

 

Didn't know that about the bearings. I'll have to take care of that at 300K........

 

118k last month after Wyoming trip. Before and after the trip what I(Toyota) changed are engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, both front and rear diff fluid, rear shocks were shot and replaced. Toyota recommended power steering fluid and coolant flush. Maybe next time. Brake pads are 5mm so will need them new soon.
