hey guys
i changed all the plugs in my truck today gapped at .040 and changed the pcv valve. Oh also cleaned my air filter and put back on. does anyone else have any ideas of anything i need to look into for 83kmiles. i was thinking maybe the front and rear diffs should get new fluids. the tranny should be fine i would guess, it had a brand new tranny put in at 50kmiles when the stock one blew. let me know what you guys think. this is on a 4.7 btw.

Yep, front and rear diffs, the transfer case and (by the book) tranny fluid. Coolant flush, too, since the 4.7s are picky about coolant, it seems.

Rear diff: 75w-140. Front diff: 75W-90 (you can use this on both ends if you don't tow much). If you can do the diffs, you can to the tranny, presumably the transfer case, too. Mine's a 4x2, so I only know what I've read about that. Coolant is easy to do, just be careful with the old coolant - it's poison and it tastes good to kids and critters.
