[QUOTE="frogfarmer, post: 71991, member: 4075"] OM covered it pretty well but on a high hour machine I like to remove all the covers, raise the cab, and completely clean out any dirt, grease, gunk build up in the machine. The thorough cleaning will get you familiar with the machine and you will find any wiring or hoses that show signs of wear due to vibration. I would expect to find several hoses or metal lines showing spots of wear at those hours. Also during the cleaning any of the wear points can be checked for play and need of service. Some will have an issue with this but Do Not use a pressure washer to clean the guts of the machine. Engines can go at almost any hours so if it works keep the fluids changed and hope for years of service. Oil coolers are known to clog with dirt an debris so make sure they are clean even if you have to remove a bolt or two for an inspection. [/QUOTE]
