I am waiting for the winter to come to an end already. When spring time rolls around I am looking to do a complete tune-up. What suggestions do you all have for me for my tune-up? I am writing this now so I have all the parts necessary come spring time. Any other suggestions of things I should do to make it run better, smoother, or cleaner would be nice. Thanks to all in advance

I think a supercharger would be a good item to put on a tune up list. Otherwise, some good tune up items would be: oil change, air filter, fuel filter, and sparkplugs. Check your lugnuts and belt when you take it out of storage as well. Shouldn't need to do more than that I would think.

Dump the codes and see what the computer says is wrong…

Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.
