    Hi,

    I just bought a 1997 Extracab RWD unit with 180k miles... it's a Colorado truck so nearly no rust-- a novelty for me since I live in Minnesota where the salt roams free.

    Looking forward to learning how to get the most out of this charming little beast.

    Thanks.

    Looks like a great forum... tons of info, on every topic. If anything, there's so much here tht it's hard to find things!

    Is there an FAQ with things like preferred fluids? I'm going to clean this thing up throughout-- coolant, oil, ATF, PS Fluid, Transfer case, Brake fluid. Baseline everything.
