The truck (2016 25000 Hemi) turned 160K. With 200K around the corner (drive 25K per year), I wanted to get some advice on the lifespan of the following parts:
1. Alternator
2. Starter
3. Radiator
4. U joints
5. Wheel bearings
I plan to buy parts early instead of spending everything at once. I have replaced the water pump (OEM), upper / lower hoses, cooling fan module (OEM) at 150K. All wear/tear items (spark plugs, shocks, PCV, brake components, fluids) have been taken care of.
Other than an early transmission solenoid recall, exhaust manifold bolt replacement and drag link recall, the truck has been perfect. I would like to get at least 300K (asking a lot for a gasser). Thank you in advance.
