This thread is for my own records. Just maintenance, nothing special. I'll come back later and add pictures for the work done.

194,xxx: purchased vehicle, new plugs/wires, added trans cooler, flushed radiator, changed oil.

ODO unknown (210-215ish): had a shop replace rear driver side bearing/seals, had drum brakes worked on as well since they were already in there. I put new brake pads on up front.

235,xxx: fixed my oil leak problem: new valve cover gaskets, resealed half-moons with FIPG, new valve cover bolts/crush washers, spark plug tube seals, PCV valve and PCV seal.
Also new lower radiator hose, and Fel-Pro gaskets, topped off with fresh Royal Purple.

238,650: New LBJs, cotter pins, bolts.

Currently have everything needed for a TB/WP change, I'll probably get that done within a month or so.

This may seem a bit dry for some readers but is valuable to get a heads up on what issues all owners could face at various mileage points. I just got my '99 with no maintenance to be done for a few thou so am spreadsheeting what has and planning ahead for upcoming chores. There is almost too much to keep up with on these vehicles so I appreciate knowing what others have had to address.
