What; if any, maintenance should I do on MightyWhitey at or around 200k?? Sitting at 196,1xx now, and have a few trips lined up for the near future. I did my normal yearly maintenance a month ago prior to my NoDak trip.I've NEVER done a...................valve lash adjustment, fully bled the power steering, coolant/water pump change, injector change, radiator hose change-out, and prolly some more that I cannot think of right now. She's running good and getting good mileage.:2cents::thumb1:What say y'all??!!:pant:

Add my 2 cents...

 

1. Boost under 5 PSI and EGT under 600*F. (At least 24V's)

2. Find a travel path that less stop and go even if its slightly longer. I'll go a couple blocks over knowing I have less stop signs or stop lights.

3. Correctly air up your tire using the formula. You get the best of both worlds good tire wear and good MPG's.

4. Something about that 2k mark when your just slightly below it you'll do better.

5. Absolutely! Don't add more rotational mass or rolling resistance. Like another gent told me for every 10 pound of tire is like adding 100 pounds to the frame.

6. Most modules and programmers do help being CR's are very retarded in timing.

7. Dragging brakes should be checked every tire rotation which should be done while doing your oil change.

8. Levelling, lifts, etc. Measuring out your frontal area is the area of drag the your vehicle will produce so the more it stands up in the wind the slower you have to go to cut wind drag.
