40k Maintanance, what should I change/replace ?

[2002_Viper_GTS_ACR]

SO, I nit 40k miles about 2 weeks ago, and I am wondering what I should replace on the car as preventative maintance, or w/e


So The tranny fluid I have done a couple of times, but most recently about 3-4k miles ago, so thats done.

Of course, I change the oil/oil filter every 2k~3k miles and have Blackstone labs run an oil analysis on it.

Diff was factory replaced about 3-4k miles ago, so that fluid is fresh.

I had an arrow rebuild about 11k miles ago, and received new spark plug wires with it, they look great still, do they need replacing ?

I have NEVER replaced the fuel filter, I am probably going to guess that should be done too ?

I do wash/clean out my factory K&N ACR Air filters, so those are ok too.

Pads and Rotos I stay on top of, so those are ok too.

No need to replace the battery yet, its been working fine for these last 40k miles.

What about the Engine Accessory Belt ? I have never replaced that, wonder if that gets a new belt when arrow does the rebuild ? so it either has 40k miles on it, or 11k miles.

Spark plugs, I replaced about 5-6k miles ago, so those are good too.

WHAT AM I FORGETTING ???

Thanks.

The brillo pads I stuck in your header collectors are probably all burned up and sooty by now so I would replace them. Check the mice under your seat. They may need more cheese. Oh yeah, check the banana in the tailpipe too.

brake fluid and power steering fluid may be good to check. Probably fine though. I also like to keep an eye on the ball joint boots as well as universals. Cooalnt was obviously already done with rebuild.

Yeah I track mine, so Brake fluid and power steering are already fresh from novemeber, when I took it to VIR !! But very good catch, totally forgot about that !!

I don't know what a nit is, but I know a nit wit when I see one . Maybe you should change out those rocks in your head, helps with clearer thinking












Sorry, just too easy

Grease your door hinges!!! If you remove the side-cove access panels, watch for shims. Carefully put the shims back in the same place. Often, there are differing numbers of them (none to two) to make the access panels lie flat.

Good one Dave, I have had to before, and I will do it again.


99rt/10 useless as usual.

Also, time for the fuel filter, as you noted.
