@mndriver had some great advice on replacing stuff before it breaks. How do you figure out what parts to replace at what intervals?
I did steer tire shocks last summer, when I put new steers on. Did an alignment at the same time. Now my drive shocks are leaking. Do I do all 6 shocks, or just the problem ones?
Ujoints- I did the rear two not long ago. Do I drop the front shaft and inspect them, or just drop the shaft and replace them so they roughly match the rear shaft for age?
Alternator I haven't done yet. Spare sitting in the truck. Do I change it just to change it? Batteries and starter have been done
Belts and hoses- mndriver said 5-6 years on hoses. I'm still thinking to change hoses just because. Belts were new last year, I'm thinking maybe 2-3 years cycle on belts. I carry a spare and a belt isn't a big deal to change out
Fuel lines- same thing thinking on changing them just because
Brake chambers- either all new within the last year or new diaphragms. Spare diaphragms on board now, they aren't hard to change
What's your thoughts?
