sorry for the cross post.
What upgrades/repairs would you do? 3.9 w/130k.
besides basic fluid's, filters, wheel bearings.
Primary use will be DD with some road trips and a few trips towing a trailer. |

Depending on what you have already done.. I would do a complete engine tune.. spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor, Engine oil & filters, drain and fill axels & swivel joints, tranmission fluid flush, brakes (if needed) with fluid flush, water pump, thermostat & hoses (depending on their condition)
all of this could be done over the next 3 months, but if none of these things have been done, it'll be great preventative maintenance and you'll be good for another 130kilometers |

Don't forget to renew the U-Joints on the drive shafts. Good cheap insurance. Also, change the timing belt and water pump. Check the brakes and rotors too.
Thanks,

I've been wondering about the timing chain.
seems like a good time to do it when the radiator is out. |

Good idea! Renew the chain while you are in there. I knew I was forgetting something.
Thanks,
