Hey fellow members i need your advice please. Ill give you a brief history and list of things replaced on my truck since i bought it. I need your recommendation on what needs to be serviced as i’ve just hit 85k miles.

My truck is a 2011MY, bought in 2013 @ 41,000 miles. I’ve done oil changes up until today every 5k miles or 6 months. I had a water pump change at 46k miles which they flushed the entire system with new coolant. I also did a right passenger airbag that had a leak. Out of warranty i’ve done two brake jobs, lower control arm bushings at 80k miles, and a pair of cooper tires to replace the stock contis i got with the truck.

I’ve regularly cleaned the throttle body myself during every oil change. I’ve changed air filters and the cabin one. I am aware of the timing chain issue with these trucks but so far i think i’m good in that area. My question is what fluids or parts should i be servicing around this mileage? I’m thinking about the differential, transmission, brake fluid, and power steering? I don’t have the heavy duty package and i do 100% nyc driving. I do not offroad and my driving is 50% highway and 50% city. I am not experiencing any issues with the transmission shifting as well. Honestly the truck is running the way it was since i bought it. Please advise as to what fluids/parts i should be swapping though!

Thanks guys or gals!!

At 85K I did the differential fluids, transfer case fluid, and transmission fluid & filter. My transmission was also shifting fine and remained that way after the fluid change. I had the shop foreman at a LR dealer (located over an hour away) do the transmission change and he happily used the Atlantic British kit I brought him. Of course the 2 LR dealers closer to me didn't know anything about the AB kit and would only use the OE plastic filter pan.

Do the transmission fluid, filter and mechatronic bridge and seals. The breakdown of the bridge and seals is known to cause issues over time.
