Ok, I've been really really bad to my car because I've never gotten a tune up for her since the day I bought her. The only thing I've done is change the oil but thats about it. What do need to order to get a good tune up? Oil? should I drain everything? I already bought the fuel filter so that going to be done, what am I going to need? How about trans? brakes? anti-freeze? Give me whats the best parts and supply for the tune? I'm getting an alignment tomorrow btw.

I never done a tune up on my stang yet but on my old vehicle I done sparkplugs and wires, flush the radiatior FULLY, change belts if needed, fuel filter, checked and/or cleaned my air filter, Checked all fluids and added where needed, and I didnt get a chance to change my tranny fluid because I didnt know how to lol. Hope this will give you an idea on what to do. Oh and also if its time for a oil change then do that also. Good luck.
