Re: Am I getting a good deal?

Well I got the AC Delco cap/rotor and Platinum Plugs. I found some Taylor 8MM wires for a good deal.

Grease your front end.

Depending on mileage I would replace belts/hoses if you are really trying to do a full tune up. Hook it up to a scanner and check for any error codes. My throttle position sensor went bad on my Blazer at around 60,000 miles and the scanner found that for me.

Obviously brake pads and rotors.

Check ball joints and other suspension parts. Probably new shocks/springs would not hurt.

Also, go ahead and replace the bulbs in your headlamps/blinkers/tails. If you have not done this it is definitely time.

Check tread on your tires.

Replace the stock air filter with something like a K&N or just do a whole intake upgrade. Might as well change the muffler while you are at it.

Now to do all of this you have to have some cash set aside. Then again you were not very specific. These are just things I have done or am planning to do in the next 3 months.

I already changed wires/plugs/cap/rotor/tires/rims/brakes/bulbs and added the new intake/cat/muffler. Also got a bull guard/M3 mirrors (a bitch to try and put on, have not added them yet) and a oil catch can I just got in Friday.

I have 70,000 miles on my truck right now so all of these things needed to be done, minus the bull bar. and mirrors.

Hope this helps.
