3rd Gen Maintenance Maps - Get 300k+ miles

I never reach those mileages- have to go by time. Maybe add time to the x axis? Very nice.

 

Let's see it

 

Maybe make one for us high mileage guys . Make it to 250k mi. I'm at 188k mi on my 2017

 

In order to prevent it from getting too big I left it out. There’s multiple tools as you know involved with each of these that deserve mention. All those little images are from the video series I made covering all these tasks. I’ll DM you the link! And thank you for the words!

 

I’ll tell ya, spark plugs are the only “difficult” item in that list in my opinion. But even then, not that bad. Most of this to me is therapeutic ha

 

Check the note on the right. It is generalized but should cover the Sunday driver needs.

Most of these jobs are cyclic and continue at normal intervals. A deviation from that would be coolant recommendation to change at 50k intervals after the first 100k. Add: the shape pattern for the 100k to 200k etc would be super similar. Not exact, but not worth recreating ya know?

 

Should I be concerned that I'm at 52k on my 2017 and all I've done is oil and filter every 5k and air filters when needed? Still on original brake pads and all the fluids are original. I guess 60k is looking like I should just about change all the fluids...

 

nice work, thanks!

Sticky req.

 

Not really a reason for massive concern and congrats on doing more than most! You are in the gray area where fluids like transfer case, diffs, and transmission are maturing based on age to the point where you should consider swapping out. If I were you I would swap them to ensure the long life of the truck. With that said, as long as you aren't crossing water every time you leave the pavement you are relatively safe. If the color green is "new" and red is "change now" you are a nice yellow ha. As for brakes, they are not hard at all on the front and time-consuming but not hard on the rear. You probably don't need rear brake shoes at 52k but definitely check.

 

I planned on the diffs and trans at 60k anyway, I checked all the brake pads and shoes at 50k and I'm surprised by how thick they still are. My truck has been babied though, and the only reason I didn't change things sooner is because I was considering a Tundra when the used market was so hot, but it looks like those trucks have a lot of improving to do yet.

 

Diggin the chart!
Im on the road to 90k.

 

If this is designed to mirror the "official" maintenance schedule, it looks great! I wonder if it should also include a "TW recommended interval for most trucks." For example, changing the oil every 5-7000 miles is likely ideal in most circumstances. Consensus is generally that 10k is pushing it for most trucks. Also, I'd bet some people are paying attention to their transmission fluid a bit before 60k. Curious what others think here.

 

This is cool. I've been meaning to make something like this for myself but just never got around to it.

I'll probably copy a bit of it and then convert it to metric.

 

The chart awesome man, good stuff.

 

Nicely done OP. This chart is off the charts (pun intended ) and I will be saving it to my service folder. Can you shoot me the link to your how to videos?

 

Worth noting on oil change intervals for sure. I’m a 5k guy and also change at severe numbers generally. That charts next round of updates will squeeze various smaller font notes in the bottom without it getting too bulky.

 

Thanks! DMing now.

 

Awesome. Might be a sticky material .

 

Great stuff! You might consider adding a version number just in case you update it, so we know which version we have.

Also, a PDF printable 11x17 would be super useful. That, and adding hyper-links for parts, youtube how-to videos, etc.

 

I’ll do you one better and make a version on a white background to be printer friendly as well. All great info!
