I get used to this vehicle going and going and going with no probelms. So much so it's easy to forget about maintenance. Aside form regular oil and filter changes, what else shoud I get done that are not break-the-bank items? I bought it at 73K, and unless done prior to that timing belt never changed. Replace trans fluid? Etc... Etc...would love some advice.

Tks!

Any maintenance records? Water Pump and Timing belt every 90k, so if you did it at 180k, then it's not due until 270k. This list above is good if you haven't maintained the rig, but here are my comments:
Diff and transfer case fluids - every 30k
brake fluid - every 2 years
PS fluid - If dirty, otherwise I do it every 5 years (not sure if this is right)
coolant flush - I likie to do this every 100k miles
drain and refill transmission fluid - I'd drop the pan and change the filter and check the magnets for shavings. I'd also add an external trans cooler.
timing belt, water pump and thermostat - per previous comment
replace LBJ - If showing signs of wear
valve cover gasket if they are leaking - agree
air filter - If dirty
spark plugs - This is a 60k mile interval for me

I would add -
Lubricate drive shafts and all suspension bushings
Check condition of accessory belts
How old is your battery?
How is your starter?

Last comment - at this mileage I find it more difficult to keep track of maintence in my head, so I recommend keeping a log and sticking to the regular maintenance intervals.
 
Thank you....

Thanks...all great suggestions. One I never heard before was the trans cooler...what is that and why do I need one??

Tks
