Three years and 35K miles. I have done oil every 3K, air filter every 12K, cleaned the throttle body, diff fluids every 15k and tranny fluid at 30k.

Anything I'm missing? Do I need a brake or coolant flush/change?

 

Sounds like you've done well. Brake flush is recommended for most vehicles every 2 years; I'd do that. Also, torque all of your bolts to spec (there is a listing on project-jk.com of torque values). Grease any zerk fittings at each oil change too.

I'd check for play at the track bar, hub bearing unit, and the ball joints. Inspect the tie rod and drag link ends. Also, look at suspension bushings (specifically control arms).

Check your rear brake pads. They tend to wear out after 25K miles due to traction control. I'm about to install my 3rd set and I have 45K miles.

Hope this helps...wait, you have over 4,000 posts????

Yeah I torque all suspension components every 3K and installed Dynatrac ball joints.

Any idea on how much a brake flush costs , maybe I'll have the dealer do that one..

 

brake pads should be near done! well atleast the front anyway. might want to check on those

 

Did the rear brake pads and front unit bearings about 12K ago. Front brakes still have plenty left.

Also grease all my aftermarket suspension parts every 3K.

 

Around $100

 

That's not bad, is that what the dealer charged?

 

The rears wear out faster on these JKs. I know, counter-intuitive, but it's pretty well documented.

Back to the OP: you can do the flush if you have a friend or two help out. Bleeding brakes is pretty easy.

 

IIRC, new models with ABS units need a computer hookup to open the system. I'm not sure if you can do it on your own...

 

wow, I just hit 35K miles and I havent checked any of that stuff, nor even had to change any of my brake pads, I guess I need to spend some time under the jeep this week! Just been doing the normal oil changes
