Hi all,
This post is very timely from my perspective as I hope to be commencing the "running in" or "shake down" process for my new SPF this weekend!
I thought that I'd pull together a checklist of the higher priority items to check based on the collective wisdom & experience from contributors on this forum...please feel free to add to it and I'll compile it at the end for future reference for any other new SPF owners!
I know that these lists can get totally out of hand, but I thought that I'd give it a go!
Here's the list to date:
Inspection/tightening
- Frame
- Suspension
- Shock mounts
- Axles
- Driveshaft connections
- Spinners & Safety wires (use anti-seize on back mating surface and pins)
- Headers
- Heads
- Valve covers
- Water pump
- Alternator
- Transmission
- Brake pads
- Wiring ties
- Fuel and
Oil line mounts
- Hinges and mounts on doors and trunk & hood struts
- Seats/seatbelts
- Dashboard and guages
Grease checks
- tie rod ends
- ball joints
Fluid levels
Regards....Paul
