What do you do for preventive maint?

does your truck have greasable joints? if not all you can do really is wait til it breaks and dont beat on it. i check my grease fittings once a month just to make sure they're good. when something breaks get a greasable replacement if possible

Depends on the type of driving...most likely ujoints.

I currently sit with 234k...its not been cheap...ujoints (all), fuel pumps (two), injectors (all), instrument cluster (body control computer), clutch, FCA, CP3, etc...

Seems like a never-ending money pit at times...

If I was to do it again, one of my first purchases would be a steering brace, followed by the DT kit...I'd leave everything else alone to 100k. I think if you got a brace on the gearbox early on, it would significantly extend its life.
