Hello GrandPrixForums. I recently sold my first personally owned GM and hopped into another the next day.I bought a 97 GTP with high miles -160,000- for a price I couldn't pass up. So without knowing the past of the car, I go to an auto parts store and buy pretty much all the things I know need replacement due to the odometer.
My question is, what are the immediate things I should look at or pay attention to. I can do all the research and locate the pages myself... I am just looking for specfic words to a specific part/area. I guess a couple of examples would be " Owners of 02-06 Dodge Ram with a Cummins should be wary of the Trans imploding if you increase the power" or "GM Trucks tend to burn out the Driver's Daytime Lights" or "The Cam Sensors on a 3.6L Caddy start sending bad readings to PCM ruining performance/mpg but you can remove & clean magnetic half. Avoiding a trip to Autozone" lastly "On 4.0L Jaguars, you should replace the Plastic Timing Chain Guides every 40k & saves thousands in the future." I hope my question and examples make some sort of sense, its been a long day.
I've owned many vehicles over the years from Porsche 996to square bodied F250 on 40's
Whether it'd be for resale, repair, modification, or maybe looking like a badass if it breaks down when I am with a lady friend (It's happened more than twice) , I like to take as much info about that make and model.
To Whoever took the time to read and has suggestions or answer(s) to my question. Thank you : )
