Truck maintenance

Care to share any information like motor transmissions differential apu maybe type of operations you do with the truck you asked for advice if you want it to last and be problems free don't start it

 

What was done before?

this is an important question that needs to be answered before yours can even be approached.

 

Laboratory oil samples - as in, right NOW.

 

Is this a serious question? If so, the answer is everything it needs when or before it needs it. If you aren't sure of what that is then have about $30k saved and be ready for anything. No one can tell you what might go wrong with your equipment, they can only guess.

 

2-3 years is all you're expecting out of a 2014? My truck was older than that when I bought it...and that was over 10 years ago.

Change the oil regularly. Grease the chassis often. Do this yourself, and take the opportunity to go over the truck with a fine tooth comb every time you service it. Replace stuff that's showing signs of wear BEFORE it breaks.

It really isn't all that hard to do. The more you can do yourself, the easier it is to keep on top of what all needs to happen and when.

 

What stuff that shows signs of wear is good to replace before it breaks?

 

not to brow beat but the first wrong word in this ENTIRE post is lease....

 

I didn't want to be the first to say that. But never never never lease purchase no never never never lease purchase did I say never never lease purchase, okay I m done best of luck

 

Regular maintenance pms belts shocks every year Ideally.Hoses Flush and keep antifreeze dca levels correct. Otherwise xtra costs batteries alternator tires and brakes ofcourse. After 700 k usually fan-turbo- air conditioner as needed the list goes on add expected emmission maintenance/ repairs as needed.Youll have plenty of costs even if only average repairs are needed.$10k a yr over a 4 yr period is very likely maybe more. Then thousands for overhaul if kept longer at least a clutch if not a re man trans. You’ll have no problem deciding what to do with any extra money if any you manage to save
