 Subject: 99 Dak New to me

Message:
I just got a 99 CC 4x4 Sport with 100,000 miles on it. It came with a K&N filter witch I just cleaned up. I was wondering if I should get new O2 sensors or any other maintance that I should do to it? Any help would be nice. Love the board by the way!!

Just on general principle, I would replace the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor and also pull the throttle body off, clean it and the IAC. Achange of oil and you should be ok.
As for the O2 sensors, I have 153k on my 97 Dak and still have the same O2 Sensor. Just watch the gas milage. If it goes real low and you can smell gas when you are driving, most likely the O2 sensor is bad and needs replacing.
If it still has the origional ball joints, I would have them checked out.

The ball joints were changed at 60,000 Miles. What is the IAC? I am not so good with all the abberevaitons.

As Larry said in another post... most mods that improve your low end torque will also improve your gas mileage (as long as you stay off the accelerator...which prolly won't happen due to Moditus and Trompitus).
