Default I hit the 60k mark the other day

So what should I do other then the scheduled maintenance in the book? I can do most of the things my self.. But I'm wondering if the tranny should be looked over, or perhaps the suspension looked over as I've noticed a popping sound on slow speed turning.

Grease the zerk fittings on your ball joints and anything else on the front end you can find.

Run a bottle of chevron techron fuel system cleaner or Gumout Regane to keep your injectors and cylinders nice n clean.

Check your PS fluid level.

Make sure your swaybar endlinks are still tight, i've had the lower bolt drop off before and there was nothing holding one end of my swaybar.

Clean the injectors with some N2O. j/k
I think everyone said it right. Just remember that if you have the G-80 rear you need the limited slip additive. Dont want to forget that. Maybe check the O2s if your really board.

That popping may also be your front CV joints if you have a 4x4. Be sure to check it out.
