RE: what does it take
At those miles I would definetly add a few extras to the plugs, wires, type tune-up:
1. Fuel Filter
2. Run good Injector cleaner and fuel system cleaner (after changing filter)
3. Check Brake Pads, Rotors turned (Very Simple)
4. PCV Valve (couple bucks)
5. I would probably be looking to change Shocks/Struts
6. ENGINE COOLANT FLUSH!!!
7. Differential Lubricant Change
8. Would also look at Tie Rods/Balljoints (raise vehicle move tires back and forth/up and down should be no play)
9. And syphon brake fluid out of master cylinder and replace with fresh brake fluid.
And dude I promise you can take this list and get all the parts and do it yourself for $100-200 bux!
Also a $16 Haynes manual at autozone is a lifesaver.
