Spark plugs, Spark plug wires, Distributor Cap, Rotor, Air Filter, Check Belts, Check Hoses, Check Vaccumm Lines, Check Water in Battery, Check/Fill Brake/Power Steering/Windshield Washer/Oil/Transmission fluids, Grease lube points, Fuel Filter, PCV Valve, O2 Sensor, Flush/Refill Radiator Fluid, Drain/Fill Differential Oil, Finally pull the ECU Codes to make sure that everything is running right. If you need exact specs a chilton repair manual tells exactly what needs to be done when.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
That sounds good to me <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> I'm gona hit 60k probably tomorrow and I'm needing to do some of that I guess.

Only think I felt I ought to correct was you said to check/fill brake fluid. &nbsp;You should not add brake fluid. &nbsp;If it's low, that means your brake pads are wearing down, allowing the calipers to clamp down farther, allowing more fluid in the lines, thus less in the reservoir. &nbsp;If your brake light comes on (and it does when your fluid gets too low) then you need to change your brake pads...not add fluid. &nbsp;If your light isn't on but you top off your fluid, you will not know then your pads need to be replaced until they start scraping. &nbsp;I know because I've done it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>
