    get a extra universal cooler and bolt it somewhere if you feel the need, heat isn't really the issue with these trannys though. On the rest great job and I LOVE seeing people take care of there stuff.

    2 things i would add though...Change your fuel filter and have your service center do a fuel system flush (valvoline pro kit is the best) and also get rid of your Dexcool, i know you just put it in but Dexcool is basically the reason all GM's v6's eat intake manifold gaskets. Get Zyrex G-05 (my personal favorite) or some prestone and fill it up

    97 GP GTP- Mystic Teal, 218k, fixing the damage
    91 Cherokee- 4 in. Lift, 31 Kumho M/T, tons of fun
    03 Chevy S10- full bag setup on order, will drag frame in under a month

    Nice job man, you really didn’t miss anything based on the stated miles and model. There are a couple items you could do, if you want.
    Drop some SeaFoam in the gas tank. I wouldn’t even worry about the fuel filter for another 100k.
    Maybe clean your MAF sensor, just be gentle with it.
    And in the spring, do a tranny pan drop. And fill with Dexron6 (I just say this because I‘m not sure when GM upgraded), with Dexron6 a cooler is totally not needed IMO. Just don’t leave the shop without checking the fluid level, and then check it again when you get home.

    Also, you should be fine with the Dexcool, just use distilled water. I’m thinking the 04+ have better gaskets, but to be honest I’m not 100%.

    Ten years of continuous driving excitement and counting!
