Just picked up a 90 BII 4wd last night and seeking input from the experienced owners on maintenance and such. I'm a geezer but still roll around under cars quite a bit (and still able to get up to standing position albeit not too spry!).
History: 109000 on odometer; bought from 2nd owner; first owner hooked it up to the back of his 40 foot diesel pusher and made 5 around the country trips...so engine mileage is probably 30-40k less than what shows on the odometer.
Would like to know what to go through and check out first including fluids and best performing and recommended fluids.
Also...kind of concerned about the small radiator and it's true ability to keep cooling in check. Are there any larger, multi-row radiators available on the market?
Best factory online parts store for price and service???
This will be the first of many posts...have read up on all of the Tech sections and other posts.
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
