Default Tune-up Tutorial? (multiple choices are ok)

A lot of people have used my tutorial of the heater core flush. I am doing a tune-up on my Dakota this weekend and wanted to know if you guys would like one for a tune-up. I know it is an easy job, but some people don't know how to do it, so let me know. (You can select more than one poll decision)

By the way, if no one wants/needs it, no skin off of my back.

Default RE: Tune-up Tutorial? (multiple choices are ok)

I would love to see a tutorial on doing a tune-up. I am always looking for smart people to learn new things from. My truck is about to hit 51000 miles and I want to be sure it last much longer. I talked to the Stealership about a tune-up which they happily quoted $420 to do. But when most of what they are going to do includes spark plug replacement, belt replace, adding conditioners, changing oil, etc. I figured I can do most of it myself quite easily.

Back to the topic, yes I want to see a tutorial on doing a tune-up.

Yea, a good, complete tune-up how-to would begood (yea, I don't need one , but sometimes people ask these questions).
In about 2 weeks I should be doing a couple things to my truck (probably transmission filter and flush, total coolant system flush, and probably axles and transfer case, maybe more). Gen 1 and 2 (besides sheet metal) share lots in common (and actually have the same body family, AN [&:])

Put 1 pint (1 bottle) in the gas tank, put about half a pint through the brake booster vacuum line, and the other half pint in the crankcase. I followed the instructions from other people on here in applying the stuff and it worked great! Just search this forum for the previous posts.
