Not a complete newbie... Just could not find login. I have a Silverado that has 130k on clock. Have never changed belts or hoses and antifreeze. Looking for an opinion, Know you will have some. Also have an F*** 3.5 with 220k in same condtion.

 

What year vehicle & how long have you owned it?
Welcome to the forum!

 

I have owned the Truck since 'new 'in 2009 got it with 200 miles. It is a 2007 LT with 5.3. Sorry thought the signature was on.

 

Welcome from Florida. I would change the belt and hoses just to eliminate the chance of a breakdown, which would be much more expensive than changing them before they break.

 

If no antifreeze change since 09 would make sense to do a thorough flush and fill. My understanding is that over time, corrosion protection of antifreeze degrades.

 

My thoughts also. I think I will do the ford first because of the mileage, and it is the wife's auto.
