    Rejuvenation

    Blue just hit 80k on the clock and i was wondering about things i should start replacing so our relationship can go for the long haul. Thinking about her ever breaking depresses me. What can i do?

    Is there anything like "the squeaky wheel" expression that is happening?

    Bushings, mounts that use stock rubber can be switched to poly, etc.

    I like the expression - "if it isn't broke, don't fix it"

    However, like Scott mentioned, checking minor things isn't a bad idea. Anything rubber would likely deteriorate. Check/change all the fluids; transmission, rear end, hydraulic if manual, power steering, brake, etc. Check motor mounts and transmission mounts.

    no squeaking just yet, but the bushings have been on my mind for quite awhile. I was looking at the set from energy suspension. Anything better?

    You have Energy Suspension, Whiteline, and Noltec to name a few. All are popular with GTO owners.

    Flush your brake fluid and save your ABS system. It's easy and cheap.

    It's messy..... most of the fluid is in the reservoir.

    Best bet is to suck the fluid out with a turkey baster, re-fill the reservoir and run the engine for about 20-30 seconds and then repeat until the fluid looks clean.

    Better than paying a shop for a power steering flush.

    Try smelling oil that is mixed with coolant for a yr. That was a job I let my son get to experience as I went for refill of drinks. He was so pissed when I got back Told me he wanted to puke 3x's.
