Got My Truck off CraigsList Now What?

09 Dbl Cab LB 4x4 Sport w/64,000m.

I changed out the oil to Mobil1 did the oil and air filter and sprayed EVERYTHING that could be sprayed with Fluid Film.

Yes I know there is a manual but since I don't know how she was treated....anything else?

 

Just drive it and if you hear a problem check it out

 

Go get it dirty and post pics

 

This^^^

 

Whenever I got a used truck I did a complete once over on it I mean check everything

 

Spark plugs are due every 30K and with 64K miles he may not have changed them knowing he was going to sell it.

 

May as well change out the front and rear differential + transfer case fluids, as well as the ATF. Baseline the drivetrain performance to almost new condition!

 

If it were me I wouldn't do the ATF yet.

 

check for this kind of shit

If you're going to buy a used vehicle then you should be checking everything over. If you're not 100 percent sure of what you're doing or what to look for, taking it to a certified mechanic would be a great idea. You should have done an inspection before you buying the truck. With a used vehicle you're never really going to know how a vehicle is treated unless you have the paperwork to prove it. Also little things like changing the oil, air filters, draining all your fluids.

 

Will do. I was considering it and just needed a little push.

Looks like the truck was not driven hard...interior is in good condition and radio stations were all set to news and Classical Music!

 

Oldest trick in the book




Lol JK

 

Not knowing any thing about it I would treat it to a 60K service.

 

full service change all fluids and get it detailed/shampooed. me and le ex had fun is all im gonna say so if i buy a used car thats the first thing im going to do

 

Remove any and all things that beep! lol





I'll be honest with ya, I was starting to think you were trolling...

 

^^^ what he said.... You don't know when anything was done, do it now, so you know you next service interval.

My own 2cents... Fluid Film is BOSS!

 

I don't think that you're the only one.

 

huck it

 

I agree with that. I've tried pretty much everything and nothing creeps, coats, lasts or works as well.

Except this. I use both.

I will have to check that stuff out, once I use up most of my supply of fluid film.
