So, most of you probably know by now, I am moving to Germany in January and taking my truck. Now most people look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I'm taking it with me, but I have been there before so I know the area and what I am in for. Plus, I'm not ready to let go of my truck yet, and refuse to let it set in storage for four years while I am gone. So that settles that, it going with me lol!
Anyway, I coming here for your guys' help in deciding what I do to my truck before taking it. I have a budget of about $3K and about 3 months to get the stuff done to it. First I will list the items that have been replaced since 2009 since I took ownership of it(not including what is in my signature below). My truck currently has just over 255K miles on it now.
u joints-replaced in 2009 at 193K
replaced fuel bowl drain valve orings in 2010 at 205K
rotors and brakes in 2013 at 232K
ball joints replaced in 2013 at 238K
starter replaced in 2013 at 242K
batteries replaced in 2014 at 243K
belt, tensioner pulley, and idler pulley replaced in 2014 at 248K
alternator rebuilt in 2014 at 252K
Here are the things I would like to do before I go:
Tires-toyo AT2-$1K(these can go without if need be)
PS Pump-$200
coolant filtration system along with coolant flush-$200
clean or replace EBPV tube-$40
FRX from riff raff-$200
intercooler boot kit, plenum boot kit with new clamps and plenum inserts from riff raff-$250
replace windshield(cracks)-$230
Now this is just a quick list I did in my head. I am looking for any and all suggestions of what you would do with $3K in your truck has what my truck has in the signature. I am more concerned with longevity and preventative maintenance than anything else. I'm just not as familiar with our trucks as some of you are.
