maintenance

[schenk85]

ok, so there are a few things that i NEED to do pretty soon, i want to get the car tuned but first i need to..
-Tune up (plugs and wires)
-Flush the coolant
-Service the transmission
-Service rear end
-and i would like to put on a tranny oil cooler

..does anyone have recommendations on parts, fluids, etc..?

fuel filter... thats all I can think of right now for a tune up.

Think you are missing a couple things on the tune-up. How many miles does your car have on it?

Air Filter, Seafoam it, Run some Techron thru the tank..

you dont need a tranny cooler, it a total waste of money unless you pulling a large trailer all the time, plus its just something else to leak. Just change the tranny filter and refill with fresh fuild and youll be good to go.

i have 112k on it, but iv done all the little things its needed so far along the way. what else do you think is missing? i just cleaned and charged the cones on my CAI..

the tranny cooler was recommended to me because my tranny gets pretty hot when theres a lot of stress on it (ie. mountain driving, traffic, etc.) so i thought that it might be a good idea to help keep the temp. down. don't think its worth it?

what is the seafoam all about, iv heard mixed ideas about it.

are you serious. there is nothing wrong with putting atranny cooler on. its called extending the life of your tranny and fluid.

do a search on seafoam and maintenance. there is a lot of good info for both of them you can find out a lot quicker than waiting for someone who knows what they are talking about and cares to answer by reading yourself.

Well yall can do what ever yall want, but im telling you a transmission cooler in not needed. The radiator provides planty of cooling. I recommed just changing the filter and refilling with fresh fulid.
