Default 07 'Burb 80k Miles what should I expect??

We just crossed 80k on our 07 and everything is good but what should we be on the look out for? Dash has Cracked and been replaced, steering column also been replaced, everything else is working but what experiences have you guys/gals had and what should we go ahead and start to plan for or replace before it breaks (hoses, belts, etc??)..

Thanks!!

I did my hoses and belts, tune ups at 100,000 miles and all still looked good. It was mostly for precaution. If it is well taken care of, it will take good care of you.

I'm at 86,400 miles on mine. The dash is perfect, no cracks or fading. the steering wheel has started peeling where it is a common issue. I really havent had any major components changed yet. OEM front shocks were finally changed at 83,000 mile but the original rears are still good. i dont drive like an idiot and dont run my vehicles into the ground. This suburban has plenty of years left on it.

front axle seals, transmission cooler lines, idler and pitman arms are very common in that mileage area and up

depending on your maintenance upkeep theres some flushes that could be done

If your rear defrost heater coiled cords are taut w/ the glass closed, you should stretch so they're not to minimize the strain on the termination/glass joint as there's a history of them failing.
