100K Question
Bought an early 99 last year at 80K and will be hitting 100K soon. I plan on changing all the fluids and filters. Is there anything else I should change or check that isn't in the owners manual?? Thanks.

????? sounds good though. The manual for my truck became a casualty long before I owned it.
I'm trying to set somewhat of a maintenance baseline because I don't know how the truck had been treated before I bought it.

You could go all out crazy and do the ball joints, tie rod ends, drag link as well.
Shocks, you'd be surprised at what a difference new ones would make.
Every filter, all the fluids, transmission, transfer case, differential, brake fluid, antifreeze.
Belt and hoses.

wheel bearing check
Easiest way is to lift wheel off groung and check for play, but what about repacking wheel bearings at 100k miles???. JeffQUOTE=WA.Ranger]Lets not forget to check those front wheel bearings.[/QUOTE]

Dunno if it helps or not but it keeps them quiet.
I keep intending to pull my old bad one apart and see just how nonservicable they really are, but I snapped the jaw off my vise a while back and haven't got around to replacing it yet.
