Default Preventative maintenance

I'm doing a little side work this week that will pay about $700.00, and since I'm not hurting for cash right now, I want to put that into my truck and save some headaches down the road.


It's almost at 92K miles so I figure I would get ahead on some of the maintenance that will be needed eventually. I'm wondering what you guys think I should have done.


I just had the spark plugs done last year, a complete brake job was taken care of last month, and I've got new tires on it.


Right now it's running great so I've got no complaints. I'm just wondering what you think I should have done that will likely be an issue in the future.


Thanks.

At your mileage I would do struts, shocks, check your FPDM for corrosion .Won't be long and you will be looking at front wheel bearings , steering shaft , new battery . My advise would be to put that money away and use it as needed . Sounds like you are on top of it so far . You may want to do a fluid/filter change on the trans.
