[QUOTE="ZoNiE, post: 1020105, member: 54000"] Old thread here, sorry guys, but has anyone replaced them as preemptive maintenance? My '01 with 140K on it is running fine, and I don't think there are any problems, but we have not pulled the pan or valve covers. I want to give this truck to my 21 year old son, but I don't want it to detonate on him a few months down the road. Everything I read says that this is the age this starts to happen on these. I also hate to pull the engine out just to do this (and fix an apparently leaky valve cover) and cause other issues. This truck has always been in AZ so has lived through hot summers and my lead foot. The truck is in great shape, I have a lifetime warranty on the trans, and he really likes the truck. Leave the sleeping dog or replace the guides (and chains while we're at it?) [/QUOTE]
