Thanks! Ill make sure to hit those zerks. Any other points of lubricating to do while im under there? drive shafts maybe? I was just looking at your crankcase vent mod, and might try to put it together tomorrow! I forgot to add that, I did valve lash at 137k miles, none were very far out of spec. reset to .010 and .020 per factory specs, but read maybe .08 and .018 were better? anyhow, im not going to do it again for a while. How high of AC current should I be looking for? Im getting almost nothing on, maybe .1 , so I assume I am okay. Yeah I don't know if im every going to make it to the moon and back, because I just don't drive that many miles, but that's the goal!

Hi everybody, I'm a new member here, but have been lurking for some time learning as much as I can. My first truck was a lifted 01 f350 with the 7.3 psd. It had an exhaust leak and possibly bad injectors, and was lifted way high with 38's. Not my style truck, and was more than I felt comfortable tackling myself (I was 20). I found an immaculate 02 cummins with 115k miles, totally unmolested with a paint matched canopy and bed rug. I was in love from the first time I saw it on craigslist. Went and bought it the next day with a small loan. Fast forward about 2 years today, still have it and love it. It now has 140k on the clock and I have done oil changes and fuel filter changes every 7k and 15k respectively. I added a edge jwa programmer and keep it on 2x3. Saving up for a new trans, but the stock is holding up fine. Also saving for a lift pump, but I've never seen fuel pressures below 10. Normally 14 when cruising. I also have a BHAF on the truck. Everything else stock. Zero blow from what I can see, but the crankcase vent bottle makes a mess... So my question is, what maintenance should I do in the near future? Just ticked over 140k miles, and want to keep up on religious maintenence and drive this truck to the moon and back a couple times. Coolant flush, different changes, and transfer case lube changes are all on the list. Also need to delete the crankcase vent bottle, its making a mess. The truck just started making a little creak from the front end while turning low speed. I'll get under there with a grease gun tomorrow and lube up everything I can. Any other suggestions for maintence?
