Hi folks, just found this site from the Running Board.
Time for my 30K chkup. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on all the work the standard Mits Warr & Maint manual suggests. My dealer also adds in a separate page of sugg work. Some of it seems unneccesary. Specifically, if my truck is running fine do I need to:
replace the spark plugs?
change auto trans fluid?
change engine coolant?
replace fuel filter, distr cap & rotor?
set timing & idle spec?
service fuel injection system? (dealer told me this should be done every 15K mi, said if I didn't 'one day the truck might not start & it would be expensive to fix'. what are they talking about? what kind of service do they do, just put in a fuel additive or cleaner?)
I have a 2000 MS XL w/33,000 mi, DIS air filter & synth oil. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Lo in VA
