I have a 97 2.3 I4 automatic, Ranger. It has approx 125,000 miles. At the end of the summer I will be moving to Casper, Wyoming, from Kentucky(approx 1500 miles), and staying until I graduate in Spring of 2011.
What I am needing is some help.

I am wanting to do a complete tune up on my little truck.
It is very mechanically sound.
I am just wanting to do some preventative maintainance.
What all should I do?

Thanks!!!


I am speaking in terms of everything:

Engine, and Braking system:

Here is what my list is so far...any to add?

Timing belt, and tensioner
Coolant Flush
Thermostat
Lower Radiator hose(upper just recently replaced)
Oil
Filters(air, oil, Fuel)
Pcv
Plugs(new wires just recent)
Serpentine belt

What all should I do to the brakes, to ensure they are in Tip top shape?

Thanks

 

plugs
wires
oil
oil filter
air filter
fuel filter
air pressure in tires
rotate tires
seafoam
change transmission fluid
rear axle fluid

 

why the heck would you want to go to college in wyoming?

as for your question, anything with fluid could use a look/replacement.

i'll add power steering fluid
brake pads
brake fluid

 

Proghorn+B&C Elk
Mule Deer

FINEST TROUT FISHING IN THE WORLD

Gonna cost me less than 900 a semester.
My program.

 

my buddy went to college in wyoming. he hated it. lol

good luck!

 

I would be sure to change the tranny fluid. A good engine means nothing with a shot transmission.

 

but kentucky isn't too expensive either. not 900, but murray state isn't bad.

new air freshener.
