Hello,

I just bought this truck yesterday - it seems to be in great condition and well maintained. The previous owner has not had to repair much, only alternator, tires, brakes and leaky valve cover gasket. Since this is my first experiance with a chevy truck, any ideas on what i should inspect or change when i bring it home on saturday?

check the intake manifold gaskets for any coolant leaks. Check the rear end fluid. If it hasn't been changed, then change it. Use synthetic fluid.
