I really would like both of you to list repair and service history. It would be helpful to many of us. Thanks!

nothing special.

3k oil changes.

Tranny flush every 12 months after 100K

washing it as often as it takes to get the salt off in winter.

Oh and if its broken or will be broken soon, i replaced before it did.

Air ride Shocks when they all went at the same time

brakes when they need it checked them every other oil change

tires are rotated every other oil change

plugs (every15,000),

Meticlious cleaning inside and out

currently negecting the alignment but asap

Transfer case, axle fluids, grease when the Wrench heads saw it fit
(gotta admit i dont do my oil changes i go to a shop with the best trusted mechanics i know and have them do it, and while its there just look over things)-that saves me from forgetting

Talking

I have 4 liter in mine just regular oil changes nothing else special,
It did get locked up when water got sucked into the intake I put in two used pistons, new gaskets still going strong tough motor I must say.
when it locked it twisted the conecting rods right around the crank with no other damage
