So I guess this is where I come clean as to just how much of a novice I am at this but so be it.
After falling into a "you won't believe it deal" on a 93 80 series last year that was & is running and sounding great I decided before starting to dump non required preventative and accessory dollars into it I would drive it for a while to make sure there were not hidden major issues before proceeding. It was bought as a 50 mi a week run around the farm vehicle and guess what. A year later I'm in love. My 2016 Suburban Z71 is now my second choice and the cruiser is darn near my daily driver. It's a little rough but I love it.
Unfortunately other than the basic oil changes I send all work out on my vehicles to a trusted local garage. It's been given the basic look over. Replaced a couple of window motors, new starter, leaking rear axle seal replaced, added A/C freon and changed motor oil and filter. Brakes need work but are adequate.
So my question to you of knowledge is what should be my priority list of things to have inspected, fluid changes to do other than motor oil or any other priority preventative measures to keep this baby going another 100,000 miles.
Please list by priority so I can use my limited budget appropriately.
Thanks very much.
