Here is a good list of what you need. Your selling your truck 3,000 miles after you bought it?

another oil filter you can consider is the Hastings Premium Filter.

thanks... yes a new pregnant wife will do that, if i hafta keep the truck i will, but if we wouldve known she was pregnant before i bought the truck then i wouldve bought a cheaper vehicle,vehicle that gets better gas mileage and a vehicle cheaper on insurance, know what i mean...she already drives a 04 denali so we already have a gas guzzler, we also have a 95 s10 (beater work truck) and a 87 mustang with 331 stroker (playtoy) if i cant sell the SS ill give up the mustang and get a vehicle decent on gas...gotta put my baby on the way first now instead of my wants.

 

anyway thats why i wanna get the truck all up to par with everything that way if i get a buyer he or she wont hafta worry about the maintence.

 

should i clean the thorttle body out or dump seaform in gas or oil(whichever it is)?

Sea foam wouldn't be a bad idea. cleaning the throttle body wouldn't hurt either. But i would definitely recommend cleaning out the Mass airflow censor. Do a search there's plenty of threads on how to do it.
