100,0000 miles coming up. Question

I have about 500 miles to go. Do you guys have any tips on what major maintenance that I should be doing at 100,000? Engine runs good, I do all of the general fluids and such at the proper intervals. Trans is in good shape except for the need of yet another governor solenoid and transducer, otherwise still in good shape. Any tips would be appreciated.

Time to check valve clearance.

I think I might wait until 5 years to do the coolant, and maybe the brake fluid.

Thanks Jeff, I was thinking valve clearance is a good idea at this point.

What gauges are you running? Might be a good time to check on the health of your cp3. Not sure if the Commander is set up for that one or not. My pickup has 130k on it now and I'm in need of a new injection pump. See if you have any play in the ball joints, check on the wheel bearings, ujoints, etc.

Thanks Cameron. I found out today after beginning some checks under the hood that there is alot of what looks to be dried HOAT coolant misted all over my alternator, cold air box and misted in somwhat of an arc which seems to originate from the shaft that the cooling fan is attached to. Wonder if the waterpump is taking a dump on me. Would something like this be covered under the 100,000 mile warranty? Help!
