Okay.. Here's what I've done so far to get our 2K & 5r as Road Resistant as possible for our 3-4 month trip.
I'm finding it's costing some Bucko's... Justa Git Outa Town
but i'd rather leave town with a "Warm'n Fuzzy" than pay some "BANDIT"..
Can anyone think of anything else ??
Truck:
1. Oil/filter(s) changed. Rottela T/Motocraft. By-pass LT6
2. Tranny fluid changed. Red-Line D6 Syn. ATF
3. Dif. Lube flush/changed. Red-Line 75w 140 Syn.
4. New AIS air filter. Donaldson.
5. New Serp. belt. 2 spares
6. New fuel filter(s). 2 spares, each
7. New coolant filter.
8. Greased suspension & U-joints.
9. Checked all Tire pressures.
10. Alignment/tires balanced/Disc brakes, Front wheel bearings inspected. New L&R, Upper & Lower Ball joints. All good to go now.
11. All other Fluids and Batteries checked.
12. A/C system serviced. OK
And, Waxed, Rain-X'd, new wipers and I/c boots tweaked.
5r :
1. Repacked wheel bearings.
2. New brake shoes all 'round. (Just because)
3. Greased 5th wheel pin.
4. Battery water levels checked
5. Total Creature Comfort check.
