100,000 mi stuff
My truck is approaching a 100,000 miles soon, and i know some repairs are in place. I am going to change the oil (change it every 3000), differential fluid, transmision fluid, and maybe the serpentine belt.
I figure this truck is worth keeping and the 5.0 runs beautifully with no oil burning. I just want to know what else should I do to keep up with maintence to keep this truck running?

Run some Seafoam through that intake if you haven't already.. There's good instructional vids on youtube... It's gooodd sh**!!! I'd say try to clean out your fuel injectors too if ya know how.
Get underneath with a grease gun and grease every joint that has a nipple. U-joints/tie-rods.
Flush your radiator/cooling system to get any deposits or rust outta there.
And get rid of that old clogged up Cat converter, either get a highflow or straight pipe it.

-Pack front wheel bearings.
-EVERY fluid if not done recently
-all of the above...although I don't really believe in replacing perfectly good parts if they're not broke or worn out.

ditto for the front suspension, especially the lower ball joints if you haven't already replaced them. What year is your truck??
look at your rear leaf spring mounts too. these almost always when they get some age on them.
