50,000 Miles Service review

[KentSD]

So hit the big 5-0 last week and took it in for service. Everything they said looked fine minus it looks like hell underneath but hey!

Ive hammered this truck as many of you know

Ive gone through

22 tires (37 BFG KO2)

4 sets of brakes

a few vacuum lines replaced

two melted oil pans

I would say about 35,000 miles total were in Baja with about 1/2 those miles been off road.

They said the fuel rod low pressures is due to driving it too fast for long periods of time. But okay it is what it is.

Im pretty sure any other truck would of caught on fire by now and burned to the ground.


So guess i got my monies worth. Going to give her another year of torture and then get another one.

If you put that truck through that much abuse “fun” and it’s held up the way you mentioned, then it’s a true BEAST!
I’m quite pleased to see this review.
Pictures please!

What brand of tires did you go with?
Have you done any suspension mods?

Thanks!

I changed the Tranny fluid at 25k even though they said do it at 50k i think. But when i did it at 25k they said it was fine.

Yeah true beast thats for sure. I wish the brake system was bigger. It gets so hot after long days im having to pump the brakes a lot. Definitely need to upgrade better then a dot3

I stick with BFG i like the softness of the tread but definitely chews up fast

Rear suspension upgraded with the Fox but the front stock is fine realistically

Kent, have you thought about looking into the new aluminum oil pan that the later 2018 builds come with?

Yessir, here's a thread about it

My 2018 still has the plastic pan but apparently the later builds have switched to aluminum.
