    Ok, well tomorrow is my day off and my dad will be at work so I got the garage all to myself. I have been gathering parts and other items for a tune on my 2000 GTP with 110k that I got a monday.

    So far I have:
    1. Oil and filter (10w 30)
    2. seafoam
    3. new spark plugs (autolight 606)
    4. S/C oil
    5. Coolant (flushing the system)

    The tranny was just done not to long ago and the brake fuild and powersteering fuild is fine also. Air filter is clean too.

    I may sound dumb here but, I have searched for what other people have done on tune ups and have not found much. So what would you guys/gals suggest for other things to look at and do at this time.
    Thanks

    They have already been done by the owners before me. They even did the supercharger gasket and one other gasket that I cant think of right now.

    plugs wires look like they have been changed before. I am just doing the spark plugs because I dont know when they were changed last and I am seafoaming tonight, so they need to be changed after that.

    I will do that. If one happens to break the local part store is only 2 miles away.

    You can fix them if they do, I just normally would go with new ones to save the trouble.
