Over Due For A Tune Up.

[absinthminded]

Well, my truck is passed due for its 100,000 mile tune up. I havent checked the owners manual as of yet but I was wondering what all do you guys do for a tune up? I figure plugs (not sure on the brand yet maybe oem), belt, diff, trans, and t-case oils. Which brands and weights are recomended? I'm planning on taking her up to the dunes for the first time and I figure i should change the fluids and tune her up before doing so. How much money am I looking at here?

Power steering fluid

 

125k I've done plugs and wires, cleaned MAF and throttle body and changed PS fluid so far. Trans filter and fluid, transfer case fluid, front and rear diff fluid, serpentine and A/C belt all sitting on the bench and should be done within the next week or so as time and weather allows. Did the brakes a couple years ago but will probably flush the brake fluid as well since I'm towing the camper around quite a bit.

Better plan on plug wires too. By now they've probably melted onto the spark plugs, which have probably melted into the cylinder so anticipate breaking the spark plugs in trying to get them out. Don't forget the blinker fluid.

Did plugs and wires on my truck at 120k, boots were not stuck on the plugs and plugs came right out of the motor no problem. Checked the gap on the old plugs and all were still at the same spec as the new iridium AC Delco's I put in. Almost screwed 'em back in, amazing plugs. Make sure to lube the inside of the boots with the dielectric grease. I put a dab of never-seize on the new plugs for piece of mind, have heard of threads in aluminum heads being ruined by stuck plugs.

Clean the MAF too

 

oil filter change, also clean your TB. top end cleaner, injector clean, Sea Foam works real well. if you do the Sea Foam thru the break booster line, do that first a day before the tune up/oil change

 

good luck
