Ive got a 98 Ram 1500 with a 5.2L, it just hit 100k and I was wondering
what I need for the 100k mile tune up like belts, hoses, plugs wires etc.
thanks, Chris

I bought it from a private party (guy from work) about three months ago, it
didnt come with a manual. I went to Autozone to look through the Haynes
manual but they didnt have any for dodge trucks 94 & up so I went to 2
different book stores and struck out both times.

well, their isn't really a 100k check-all, it goes through different things
at different miles.this is for a 2000 ram 1500

so.

a 1500 at 90k

change engine oil
replace filter
replace air filter
replace spark plugs
inspect front wheel bearings. clean and repack if required (4x2)
lubricate front susp. ball joints (4x4)
inspect break linings
inspect drive belt replace if required

at 105k

change oil
replace oil filter
flush coolant if it has been 30k since last
inspect drive belt replace if required

Here's an owner's manual on eBay for $12.00.
