1997 ram 1500 3.9
I recently inherited a 1997 dodge ram 1500 3.9 V6, I'll finally get around to picking it up this weekend and since the trucks been sitting for 5 months I'm going to do a major tune up before I crank it up, I'm doing plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter and an oil change, should I change anything else? The trucks been started every 2 weeks and warmed up to operating temp and has 59,000 miles.
Should be about it. Might check the belts and throw a can of lucas in the gas tank. Check the coolant level and brake fluid level and condition of pads/shoes as well. If it's been started every two weeks, engine is likely ok. Brakes might be sticky if it was not driven much.
It was driven 32 miles last year so it hasn't been driven much, I'll go ahead and replace the belts and hoses just for peace of mind, I had planned on putting a full tank of mid grade gas in it as well as seafoaming the fuel tank and vacuum lines. Brakes looked good last time I messed with the truck but I'll check them again.
