Approaching 160k what should I do?

[shahking1120]

Hey All,

I'm approaching 160k on my 2011 Tahoe LT.

What are some things I need to take care of (maintenance/service), or probably expect to have to replace or refurbish?

-In the last month or two:

-I have drained the transmission and added new fluid, using the line at the top of the radiator.

-Pretty much swapped out all of the PS fluid, using the turkey baster method.

-Brake pads and rotors are good, Tires are fine.

-Replaced sway bar endlinks and bushings, both front and back.

-New air filter.

Anything else I might be missing? Probably should keep an eye on?

Thanks everyone!

if you have not done any wheel hubs, I would advise checking them alteast as well as ball joints
coolant flush also if not already done
spark plugs are rated for 100k so if those have not been done
brake system flush - entire system
differentials/transfer case fluids
I'm probably missing some things but those are just off the top of my head

Ive done spark plugs and belts like 15k ago.

Ill look into coolant flush! Cant believe I forgot that, I have a new tstat and tstat housing laying around waiting to get installed!

Brakes will be done asap....I havent touched the fluid since I got it when it had 44k miles!

The differential scares me, maybe this weekend!

Diffs are prob easiest thing... drain and refill... no filters dude. Get ready for some stink tho...

What stink? The new AC Delco rear differential fluid says "new grape scent" on the bottle!

Any every time the word "differential" is mentioned my daughter recounts the horrors of that smell!
