Beginner mods for a daily driver?

OBD2 scan tool, and review vehicle maintenance history, see if the head gasket has been replaced, very common problem but new designed gasket has given many relief. The 'Bluedriver' has blue-tooth and pared with a device has been said to have many options available at $99.99, eBay.

I have the Innova 316oe, was $230 from Walmart, was a good pick being I don't have a phone, I wanted enough function without paying big money, but even an inexpensive stand-alone one say $30 would be better than nothing.

Yes, agree, stick with the basic maintenance first, go through the schedule in the manual and anything that you can't verify has been done on schedule should be considered priority.

Start with maintenance; change as many as you can of any fluids w/out recent documentation of a change (oil, front/rear differentials.)

Inspect and replace as needed (Coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, air filters (Engine, cabi), swaybar and control arm bushings)

If it's a V8, plan on replacing the timing belt unless there is documentation available of a recent change (Should be replaced every 80-100k miles, would be the second replacement likely)

It sounds like a lot of work but it's worth it.

1. Interior LED swap
2. Debadge or plasti-dip chrome badges
3. New key fob

I have the technical abilities of a 4yr old and those three tasks were easy and fun. I'm planning on doing Whytys RAM mount/USB setup as it is super clean and functional (and pretty straightforward once you learn how to undo the legos that hold these interiors together.)

I just had a double DIN head unit installed along with a backup camera. Next up on my list is swapping out my interior speakers, which I plan on doing myself.

The fob you linked, does th rear window control still work with it?

Yes it does.

 

[Jazz30-06]

Yes it does.

:thanks:

Any chance it magically makes the window close too?

No, it does not. There is a mod someone came up with but, it looks like more work than I want to do for it.

Figured, but had to ask.
