Tune up time...

[GalacticToy]

Ok so I am really new here and I think to better explain why a college kid has this type of truck is that my Dad passed away close to a month ago from Pancreatic Cancer. While I was in the hospital with him he fussed about how I wasn't at school, how I needed to wax his truck and make it look good like I used to and how he was saving up for the $800 dealer recommended tune up.


The Truck just rolled 181k as of tonight. I think I have rounded up the parts needed so far:
1 Dayco Serpentine Belt
6 Denso Iridium power plugs
1 K&N drop in filter(put it in, in under 5 mins)
1 Cabin Filter
2 Power Slot Cryo-treated front rotors
2 Axel Sets of ATE Premium One brake Pads

I just did the oil myself about 1,4xx miles ago with Mobil 1 high mileage 5w30 and the Denso/Toyota filter and a new drain plug gasket.

I just plan on letting the dealer do the transmission flush and power steering fluid flush as my dad always had everything dealer maintained there. I just can't afford to do it all.


Is there any info ya'll could share about what would help out?

Are there torque specifics when it comes to the front rotors?

How to access the cabin air filter?

The cabin filter is behind the glovebox. In order to get it out you must pull the glovebox off, and behind there on the bottom is a black tray thats clipped on you release those clips, and theres one screw, and bam theres your filter in there. Sorry if that was unclear :redbrick:

Don't worry your description was so great it scared me. I think I might leave that one to the dealer I don't want to break the glove box.


Are there torquing specifics on keeping the front rotors on the truck when swapping them out?

Is there such thing as a Shop Repair Manual for this truck?

I have a Bentley Manual for my Volvo 240 and that is like the bible.

The dealer will charge you an arm and leg for a 10 minute job.

Open glove box. Remove screw circled in blue. Push tabs inward circled in red. Then the glove box will fall further down. When it goes down, you'll see the white tray.
