Took my truck into get an oil change this past weekend and noticed that at my next oil change the mileage will hit over 100k. I just wanted to know if when it does hit 100k should I take it into the dealer for a complete overhaul of the engine and tranny or would it just be a waste of money.

I would definitely have the motor and transmission completely overhauled.....It may blow up shortly after 100,000. Better to be safe than sorry :) :) :)

Are you for real? Is this a joke?

I would never overhaul it just for fun, unless you plan on doing some serious modifications to it.

These engines are good for more than a 100K.

This is not 1970.

According to the service manual at 97,500 you should:
Rotate tires & Change engine oil and filter if needed
Change air cleaner (actually thats at 90k)
Change spark plugs & inspect spark plug wires
Change tranny fluid & filter
Change transfer case fluid & filter (if AWD or 4WD)

These things are a lot more reliable than they used to be :)
Also keep in mind your powertrain warranty expires at 100k (or 5 years, whichever comes first) so if there is anything you'd want to get fixed or looked at I'd do that while it's still under warranty.

These trucks are bulletproof. Just do the recommended maintenance
