I bought my truck back in May. I'm exchanging all the fluids and replacing some other stuff because I don't know what the previous owner did.
I bought it from a reputable dealer, and either they or the previous owner put in new spark plugs (Autolite 5224), wires, and air filter right before I got it, but I'm not sure on anything else.
I used NAPA brand power steering fluid.

Thanks for the suggestion but, unfortunately this caught me off guard so cant afford the best. Expecting the breakers, boxes, and all the wiring to be in the 3000-4000 range OUCH.
Compressor, going with is Princess Auto 60gal 230v 5hp that puts out 18.5cfm @ 100psi. Will be about $1200 w/shp/tx. (Cdn btw)

This is pretty well a season ender for the Indy this year. Guy wont be able to even look at what needs to be done for 2weeks. Earliest he can start work is 4weeks. Going to cause me a ton of work reorganizing both the house and garage yet again.

ouch is right. the one your going with moves a hell of a lot of air. i would be happy to have a compressor that would move 7 or 8 cfm at 90psi. right now i have to put up with my little 6 gallon porter cable because i have yet to chunk out for a bigger/better one.

Hey Indy, It's too bad your across the border or I could have set you up at a decent price. It is what I do for a living. What are they doing for that price? Please tell me it is more than your garage.

I tried to get them to replace but they wanted 30 bucks a stud to install, I rotated my tires 3 times and never broke one but snuff happens and they told me I had way to much torque on them and thats the reason they broke.... whatever. I did get them balanced for 28 bucks though.. lady at front counter mis quoted me. I bet it cost them 25bucks in weights alone. lol

This week I ran a new brake line from the T fitting at the left front to the flex hose for the rear axle. The original rusted through. Needless to say it doesn't run behind the fuel tank now.
Tomorrow is thermostat time.
