Could someone please give advice/point me in the right direction with preventative maintenance?Here’s what I Know so far: 1-this year/gen had timing chain issues. Some say changing the tensioners prevents issues, some say it makes them worse. What is the consensus on this? Mine currently runs great and makes no rattle, including startup. Oil changes have been kept up with. Does it make sense to change the tensioners while there is no issue?2-my transmission shifts good and fluid is still light red, so I am planning on changing fluid in pan and filter to prevent future issues. Are there any other things that should be done at this mileage? (To my knowledge nothing else has been done like transfer case, diff., etc)Thanks to all!!</blockquote>
