Hello and thanks for your help. I purchased my first CTD truck in the spring with 79k miles on it. 1997 2500 auto club Long bed 4-WD. I am about to do the 100 k service. I will repair the KDP,Update the starter lugs,(mine clicks sometimes and will not turn over I purchased a kit to repair it from ebay) I have also got a new lift pump and fuel filter. I have read about replacing the flexable rubber return line that frequently cracks and leaks fuel so I will plan to do this as well. so the question is Is there anything else other that what I have listed above that You guys would look at or replace while I am in there? Thanks so much. I spent several hours on the site reading all the reviews about ctd trucks before I purchased mine and I love it. Almost 22mpg in this tank of a truck and what else can I say it is the bomb.
Thanks
Ben

Adjust valves, change oil in diff's and t-case, change oil and filter kit in auto trans, Add coolant conditioner to coolant, If that has never been done might want to change it then add the conditioner,check the rad and heater hoses, if original they should be changed (age), wash out the front of the a/c condensor and debug it and straighten out the fins with a comb. check your belts and replace if glazed or cracking, check brakes(remove wheels), check the brake fluid, if it's dark in color change and flush it. Inspect the batt cables for corrosion or abrasion and replace as necessary. Check all suspension bushings and joints for wear.
set up a good maintenence program, change your oil and filters regular, according to the driving you do, grease it, use good quality oil and check it regularly. you will have a truck that will give you good service with minimal problems.

BC Morris,
I would also change the shocks as well as give the underside a good cleaning & inspection. I would make a bug screen out of plastic screen for windows from Home Depot/Menards/Lowes. Just like any vehicle with a few miles on it.
Then decide what upgrades you will save for.
Best of luck with the new toy!
