Stay on top of your fluids and if you cant do it yourself......take it once a year to a trusted mechanic to inspect suspension, bearings etc. Barring any bad luck it should last ya 200-250k or more easily

Thats my plan

Spark plugs also, if you haven't done them already.

Appreciate all the feedback I'm gonna look into part prices for those things listed! Spark plugs look like a pain to get to. Everything else seems fairly easy!

^The plugs are easy to do. Once you remove the cover and the bolts that hold the coil packs in, removing them is easy. I used a plug socket with an extension. If you don't have a socket that can grab the plug, use an extension magnet. Picked one up at Harbor Freight for $2.00 and it works fine. It's also a good tool to get the new plugs started with. Changed mine at 80K, they looked really good.

You didn't have to take the intake manifold or throttle body off? I haven't done mine yet and figured they were in the way.

Kris, you are right. You do have to remove the two intake ducts and the TB's. The reason that I didn't think about that step, was that I was cleaning the TB's and decided as long as I had them off, I should change the plugs. Sorry 'bout that. Again, they are simple to remove a flat head screw driver to remove the ducts and an allen wrench to remove the TB's. I believe it's a #5.


I bought the DENSO OEM plugs from Rockauto

I bought the Denso OEM plugs as well this last weekend. Look up - DENSO FXE24HR11 on Amazon, they are like $75 shipped or less all day compared to Oriellys and AutoZone at well over $100..
