Below I"ve listed the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thanks for looking!
The Good:
cold ac, hot heater replaced tie rod ends (@140,000 miles) replaced sway bar bushings (@140,000 miles) lower control arms (had professionally aligned afterward (@140,000 miles) ) radiator (@120,000 miles) thermostat (@120,000 miles) new valves and o rings on resurfaced heads (@120,000 miles) new head gaskets (@120,000 miles) spark plugs (@120,000 miles) ignition coils (@120,000 miles) replaced front and rear shocks (@120,000 miles) new idle air control valve (@120,000 miles) newer air filter (@120,000 miles) oil changed every 3,000k 4 wheel drive works front disc brake pads have at least 6 months left of use on them (I have a free set of new pads)
The Bad: rear drum brakes need to be replaced slips out of 3rd gear sometimes clutch slave cylinder is leaking (hard to engage into gears 2 and 3) no 2nd bucket seat for the back. I had a sub-woofer in that spot, but the sub was just stolen and never replaced passenger side key cylinder hasn"t been replaced. put in a lock for driver side recently emergency brake doesn"t work
The Ugly:
Truck is currently running on 4 cylinders. Carbon buildup on cylinders 1 and 2. I"ve been told by multiple mechanics that this is from the valve cover gasket leaking into the spark plug wells keeping those cylinders from firing. As soon as you replace the plugs you can dramatically feel the performance change (much more powerful) but you will also see it smoke more. After awhile they stop firing all together and the ECU adjusts to give you a stable performance (with dramatically lower power) that is still road worthy for highway and city (it can still travel 75mph). Also when you change the plugs, since you are burning oil essentially, you will need to add a little oil every couple hundred miles. Right now, I haven"t added oil in a month and it"s been fine (because I haven"t changed the spark plugs)
