Hey all, I am the proud new owner of a 1994 Olds. Bravada AWD. Not a Chevy but still a GM. It was purchased from an old(ish) lady, who is the original owner. 156,000 miles. Well maintained, pristine condition. Motor is 4.3 Vortec, has digital dash as well as every other option.
My question is: aside from regular maintinance, how can I ensure that my truck will last a long time? Powertrain, body, ect. I drive it at least 100 miles, 6 days a week.
I plan on having the oil, transmission, transfer case, brake, power steering and differential fluids changed, as well as a coolant flush and fill and chassis lubrication. I was going to change the oil myself, but I noticed that the oil filter was on the Right hand side of the engine compartment, next the air box. At least, I belive this is the filter, and I wasnt sure if there was anything special that needed to be done to drain these lines.
Does this truck have an oil cooler? (Can provide pics)Was it stock? Would my truck benifit from an aftermarket transmission cooler? Did it come stock with a transmission cooler?
Any and all input is appreciated. TIA everyone.
Carl
