I hit 240k this past week with my 95 Tahoe, is there anything I should be looking at to service or replace? I know some cars/trucks have a maintenance schedule. I picked it up last June so far have drained and refilled the rear end, front diff, transfer case, drained and refilled the tranny and changed the gasket/filter, flushed the cooling system, new radiator and hoses, oil cooler lines, tune up (ac delco spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor) fuel pump, fuel filter, pcv valve, air filter, ball joints, struts, waterpump, alternator, changed the oil every 3k miles and lube all the lube points, new tires, front brakes were done, flushed out the power steering and brake fluid, runs great, just looking to see if there is anything else I should be looking at, thanks for the help

unknown at this time.
Maybe no replacements but perhaps a detailed visual inspection of exterior and interior under panels and carpet for dirt/corrosion clean-up may be strip out carpet completely for a good cleaning from mobile carpet cleaner van. When I pulled my carpet for that it was bad enough to replace it but I found a few areas under neath the could use some corrosion clean-up. Two depressions along side of the pillars in-between the doors in the floor pan that need some touch up. Brackets that the rear storage cover rest in needed some work too. And the interior goes back together all the trim pieces will get individually cleaned as much as possible. I would like to replace my seat belts because they are so dirty. You should should probably inspect those as well. A very intense under body degrease and wash.

Not unusual to not have a rebuilt engine at 240,000. Mine is at 242,000 and had a rebuilt transmission at 180,000. The engine is stock unless the 1st owner rebuilt or replaced it before about 50,000 miles, which is highly unlikely.

Ditto here...

243k mile

Original engine, Trans is rebuilt.

Front diff bad and being replaced, Rear diff is still running strong.

Synthetic gear lube is key for the Diffs.

GM Transfer case oil is a must also.
