i bought my 99 ram 5.2L 4x4 with 127k miles on it a year and a half ago. as soon as i got it i changed the plugs, wires, cap rotor, and all the fluids plus put in a new battery. so far the engine is running well with the only hiccup being the water pump going out a few weeks ago so i replaced it and the belt. but i just recently hit 140k on the odometer and am thinking what i should look at changing next week during my next major tune up.
i dont have the maintenance book that tells me what needs done when, so what do you all recommend? im planning on new wires, plugs, cap and rotor and maybe a new coil (the stock one looks like less then reliable) when does the timing chain need replaced?
oh and my transmission cooling lines that go to the radiator are starting to leak how hard are those to replace? i guess i should finally install my B&M trans cooler now. if i do, do i still need to run the lines too the radiator or can i bypass that completely and just use the B&M?
thanks again for all the help.
