Recently bought a 2005 Venture. Any ideas of what to expect? 120,000 miles

What will break? What should I specifically tune up (besides the typical fluids and grease points)

What parts will last a while?

I'd appreciate your feedback so I know what to look out for and any warning signs I should be paying attention to.

I've got a '04 Venture with 198,550 miles on it. No major problems with it, but front wheel bearings are common issues, replace with good bearings, BCA is my favorite. Keep the fluids fresh, and full, and it should be a good van for you once you flush, and replace all the fluids, and a major tune up. Do the trans. fluid, and coolant fist, then change the trans fluid (by dropping the pan) every 20,000 miles or so. I flush the coolant every other year as well. Buy good quality parts and you shouldn't have to worry about it for another 80,000 miles.
