    If you don't know the service records then replacing all the fluids would be a good idea, oil, transmission fluid, differential, transfer, cooling.

    Park it in the direct sun for a while. When it's heated up you can pick the badging off with your finger nail easily without scuffing the finish.

    The grill badge has to be pried out. It'll break in the process probably.

    x2 on changing all of the fluids. Don't use any synthetic fluid in the transmission...it won't like it.

    I debadged mine by heating the emblems with a hair dryer and lifting them off with some small guage fishing line. Goo Gone for the leftover glue and then a good rub with ScratchX and a microfiber cloth to remove the shadow that was left over. When I heated the front emblem and removed it, it did not break.

    I'm sure Riff will be along to answer your tire questions.

    ???? I put Royal Purple MAX ATF synth transmission fluid in over a year ago. Several other forum members use it too...what's the issue with using synth in our transmission?? Did I miss something significant?

    I remember reading a post by a fellow member that had trouble with the synthetic fluid he used in his transmission. It was so bad he had to take it out. I looked but couldn't find the post that I remember...
