    I'm moving to California for a year sometime within the next couple months, and I will be driving my 99 GT with whatever I can stuff in it there. It's about 2900 miles, probably 34-3500 with side trips to see things.


    • 1999 GT - 153k Miles
    • Original owner
    • Mobil 1 High Mileage Synthetic every 5k (Blackstone says I can go well past that)


    Within the last 5-6 months I've done:

    • Brake pads all around
    • Suspension all around
    • New tires


    Plan to:

    • Oil change before leave (obvious)
    • Clean K&N Filter
    • Coolant flush (I noticed last week temp was a little hot and it was a reasonably cool few days- its never had a flush before, that's original coolant.)
    • New bulbs / headlight adjustment (i feel like they are kinda dim and its probably about time for them to go)

    Anything else anyone suggests?

    After some reading I noticed a lot of people having trans issues at 180k? Something for me to worry about?

    I think that's everything....

    Thanks,
    Drew
