My '02 Supercrew has hit 102K miles. I know it is time to do the plug thing, but what else should I change for prevention. This has been the best truck I've had, and I want to keep it for years. There is a knock on slow turning (especially from a stop) so I'm thinking suspension bushings. I will add a list of things I am thinking of replacing. What about the COP and injectors while in the plugs?

Ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, trand fluid and filter, fuel filter, air filter, plugs, belt, DPFE (yes I have the dang enginge light on), coolant, hoses.

I have never had one minute of problem with this truck and would love to keep it that way.
Thanks for your input.

I'd just replace the COP Boots not the whole COP and not the injectors. The other long list it all depends on when those things were last changed. As for the suspension it is hard to say without knowing what is knocking. If the shocks are original they need it ball joints and tie rods don't until they start causing problemS.

Also differential(s) and xfer case if it is a 4wd and hasn't been done.

 

Local repair shop that has earned my trust charged $80 for the tranny power flush. When I asked about changing the tranny filter they told me that changing the filter really is not necessary for what ever reason. Hey if their telling the truth then they lost 80 bucks I do not see any reason they would lie to me about that, they have always treated me honest in the past.
Don't be scared of the plugs it is really not bad at all.

 

My truck just turned over 98K. I also have a list of things I NEED to do. Money is the problem. EVERYTHING but the balljoints and alternator are stock.
I need to do:

Brakes all the way around
Shocks
Oil, Trans, T-case, and Diff lube
Tie rods
Spark plugs
" " Wires
Fix the MF switch

I think that's it....Radiator was flushed and changed when I did the Heater core last fall

And I gotta fix that fricken exhaust leak sometime before June when it gets inspected again (May). Something tells me that is going to get expensive!
