Is there such a thing as too much maintenance?

Replaced engine wiring harness, steering u joint, all 4 shocks & mounts, transmission control board and plug, blower motor, coolant pump, alternator, starter, battery, e brake cables and rear backing plates, rear speed sensor, 2 brake lines, wiper arm and not to mention the oil changes, transmission and differential fluid, air and fuel filters, tires, that's in the last year. I'm planning water pump and the spaghetti mess of hoses with factory espar, new rotors and brakes, brake hoses, and trans fluid and differential again. And a power steering flush, flushed the brakes.

There's 218,000 miles on the van. Am I nuts?

I haven't done this much maintenance on my sprinter in 775k miles, but I bought it new and I drove it like I owned it. Makes a bit of difference.

As expected, KC sux! Just spent time at the Harry Truman Library in Independence Missouri. An EXCELLENT decision. Very interesting history, especially the complete gutting and rebuilding of the White House in 1950.

So, if you are stuck in KC, spend the $8 and visit
