Hi,
I’m looking at doing all the fluids, spark plugs, fuel filter and maybe other things that are needed as I dig in.
Can anyone recommend what fluids need to be used in these?
Looking at replacing the power steering, transmission, transfer case, both differentials, coolant and brake fluid.
Do any of these require the dealer oem such as for the rear differential that has the posi traction?
Any recommendations for spark plugs, wires, maybe the distributor, fuel filter?
The truck has 128k miles on it with unknown history that I bought with 122k on it 5 years ago. It was well cared for but the owner passed away. All I know is that it had a new transmission in it and new exhaust on it when I bought it after looking underneath. It has been trouble free except for a starter replacement I did last year, new tires all around due to dry rot and annual synthetic oil changes and a new air filter.
Any other recommendations such as greasing everything that takes grease?
I was looking into synthetic fluids from amsoil but not sure if it’s a good idea for a vehicle of this vintage to use either oem or Dino fluids it most likely came from the factory with.
Also, does this thing take the dreaded dexcool?
It’s in great shape and I’d like to keep it for as long as possible even though I put less than 1k miles on it per year.
Thanks for the recommendations.
