Hey just thought i'd try to get everybodies opinion first. I have roughly 147,000 miles on it, I will replace the timing chain, water pump, plugs, and i have a tranny cooler, and thermostat for it.... are they any other things i should think about? tips, you guys have for me? etc......

thanks a lot guys-

 

Have you already read up on Gadget's site what you are in for?

 

I use the URD kit. Check their webiste as their is a detailed list/parts of everything they recommend. High quality stuff.

 

Be ready for premium gas...

oh, and put on your darn rear bumper!!

 

it's on Austin, just need to take pictures....

I've read Gadgets site, and thought about the URD kit, but $$$ just isn't there yet. basically I'm trying to think of things that i might need to replace, or look at, because of my mileage.

 

Awesome!
Can't wait!!

sent pm...

 

Allen-

You said timing "chain" - it's a belt. That might be what you meant, but I just wanted to let you know.

Good luck with the SC'r. I want one too!

 

Just because you have that many miles I would not be worried about anything additional you would need to do as long as everything is in good working order now. You might want to think about getting a valve body upgrade if you have an auto tranny.

 

Yeah, so what all is entailed with that? Will I have any down time with it? Or do they give me a core charge til I send them my stock valve?

 

Depends entirely on where you send/take it to get it done. If you take off yours and send it somewhere they might charge you a core charge if they have one to send you until they get yours. If not, you can wait for them to work on yours until they send it back to you. Or, just drive the truck in and they will do it in a day.

 

i think i'll hold off on the valve body upgrade, but then again my foot might turn into lead once i get it SC'ed....

 

it is a hard feeling to fight, even at $2/gallon

 

If you haven't replaced your tranny fluid lately, you should do that when you are installing the cooler..

 

thanks Travis-
