So, I have an 05 ascender(4.2) with 265k miles. I took it to a mechanic for a thorough PPI and ended up paying about 200$.
Spark plugs and coils have already been changed about 15k miles ago,
The results are that i need
Inner and outer tie rods both sides
Upper control arms both sides
wheel bearings left and right
new engine and transmission mounts
new shocks front and back
new rear diff fluid
New brake pads front and rear
new tires
Transmission fluid was burnt so a new transmission sometime
new headlight assemblies(They look like shit so)
I also need to flush the coolant
i need to flush the brake fluid
New water pump(Idk when its been changed last, probably 4 years)
New alternator(same as above)
New timing chain(same as above)
Besides that the mechanics said its in good shape inside of engine looked great compression is still good and he said he would keep it. Now for the cost of parts i found online im going to go with mostly TRQ Parts, but also going to go with some good ones. Labor would be very cheap as i live near mexico and know a solid mechanic down there. All in it would cost me 2,400$ to do this, the transmission would be a rebuilt unit with a warranty. Want to hear everyones opinions
