My 2006 LT3 Corvette coupe with 76K miles was actually built in the 4th quarter of 2005.

I recently had all the hoses and belts replaced to try and head off any problems.

In addition to the belts and hoses, regular engine oil and filter, engine air filter, transmission service, brake fluid change out, cabin air filter, brake pad & tire inspections, sway bar end links, are there any other important things to be done to keep the car reliable and long trip ready?

A squeaking harmonic balancer has been changed out.


Thanks for you input.

How are the tires?

Looks like you have it covered. Tires are the most important as far as safety goes. If you still have used GY F1's on your car, that would be the first thing to change out. They are very dangerous on wet highways, and on longish road trips, it's hard to not encounter some rain.
I keep a 12v compressor, plug kit in the cubby hole. I have non runflats, but even with runflats, it is nice to be able to pump up the tires to keep air pressure in them in case of picking up a nail or similar.
A sidewall blowout will not help with either tires.
I have a 2006 coupe, 87K miles, and most of those were from long distance road trips.

Good Luck, have fun, and enjoy the C6. They are a great highway road trip cruiser
