Apologies first if there is a thread or discussion somewhere else on this matter. If so, and you have the link please send.

My 2014 1500 5.7 is approaching 100k miles. Knock on wood, I have not had to do anything other than replace a bushing and routine maintenance. I have done the fuel system maintenance done at around 90k. I am curious what other owners have done (preventive maintenance wise) for your truck around the 100k mark.

Thanks,

Outside the recommended maintenance scheduled items, I change the engine belts, tensioner, idler pulleys and coolant flush/refill every 100K as preventative maintenance.

Given the cam wear issues Hemi's are know for, I would also recommend a oil analysis sample be taken and sent in to check for wear metals and any possible coolant contamination.

Hoot nailed some big ones; tranny should be serviced, too, as should the TC and diffs if your rig is 4X4.
