So I just got a 99 F150 XLT with 100k on the odometer. This is my first used car since I was 18, so I'm trying to figure out what needs to be done and what I should do to maximize the remaining life of the car.
I had the car inspected by an independent (of the deal) Ford dealer, so I have a good idea of what needs to be done immediately. So far, I'm thinking I should obviously get an oil-change and maybe a tune-up?
It needs new rotors and maybe pads. Anyone have any good advice on getting some real good performance brakes? I was looking at the ceramic pads and cross-drilled, slotted rotors on this page. Pricey, but I could use all the braking power I can get.
What else? Plugs and wires? My stepdad recommended paying to get the truck undercoated. Is that worth it? Anything else I should look out for?
Thanks in advance to all SVTP used car owning masters!
