I live in a big state with a lot of very remote areas and hobbies frequently take me into those places. This means I will sometimes replace items before they've fully failed. As an example, I put a new starter on an older fishing truck based on the tired performance of the previous one. It was $80 for a solid brand and it seemed like cheap insurance. I did a fuel pump for the same reason.
Here's a running list I keep in my head on what components, if they fail, would leave me in a tough spot.
Battery
Fuel Pump
Alternator
Starter
What else would you put on the list? If something seems okay, do you roll the dice and leave it? Or replace on a schedule before you're left high and dry?
