  • Running up on 60,000 miles. Anything need to be done?

    I am getting close to 60,000 miles on my car. I have done my brakes (Front Pads and rotors and Rear pads and rotors). I change my oil every 3,500 miles and rotate my tires every 6,000 or so. I just seafoamed my car about a week ago. My question is there anything that I should do soon? Thanks,

    Matt

              Ya I have thought about the injectors, but I think they will good for a while. At least till 100,000 miles. I am think the transmission fluid may need to be changed, thanks to my young and dumb sophomore year. I drove it pretty hard.
              But its a possibility I think. Thanks

                    There are many ways to do it here is an idea of a few. Try searching on YouTube, there are a lot of videos on this:

                      I ran a whole can of seafoam through my gas tank (about half full). Then I ran a third of can through my brake booster line. (Did this twice to get really clean )

                      I noticed smoother idle as well as less sluggish acceleration. I highly recommend.

                        Yea I think they(GM) recommends we flush the transmission every 50,000 so u might wanna do that soon (50K<60K) . Im gettin ready to do mine wit royal purple... gonna be pricey but ehhh its only every 50k

                          Anyone have a pic of the brake booster line?
                          I need an oil change soon and today would be a good day to do some seafoaming. That jeep gc makes me sad it's my exact car I had before my 6er that got totalled by a ford ranger, and it was one badass ride!

                              I don't have a pic of the LY7 motor but look at the line coming off of the upper intake mani. It should lead into the brake booster.

                              Hope that helps.
