Suggested maintenance

[dietz99vcross]

Alright, It appears that I have an extra paycheck coming in October, and as much as it could be blown in thousands of different ways I have decided it is time to reinvest in the VX. So lets say I have between $500 and $1000 I am looking for suggestions on extending the life of the VX. I just bought a new muffler so lets say $150 is going to installation of the exhaust. As for what type of maintenance has been done, lets just say not as much as I should have. Oil and tranny fluids good, filters - check, brakes - done, tires - good to go. With 130,000 miles what are your suggestions. Yeah I know you could use a lot more info so just pretend nothing else has been done. Thanks - Mike

nothing else??
change F/R diff fluids, x-case fluids, timing belt, water pump, flush radiator.... i could keep goin?
thats already well over $1000, so take your pick, or eliminate ones that have been done

wheel bearings if needed and what Jack said are all good choices

Don't forget to change the blinker fluid and rotate the spark plugs.LOL

Hmmm, I see a Kilby Enterprises "belly-pan" skid plate in your future.

At your mileage, I'd start with the timing belt, water pump & serpentine belt.

The stuff I had done at 118K cost me $1800. The labor and parts were about $900 each.
