So i was able to get from both my dad and my dad mechanic the complete record of maintenance (from 52k miles till now 86k). The thing is that I will list here what was done and at which millage so that you can tell me if I'm ok for the next 20k miles. I was going to order the ECS level 2 cooling kit, but I think I could just buy the things I'm missing.

at 68k miles:
-spark plugs
-fuel filter
-coolant reservoir
-radiator thermostat

at 74k miles:
-idler pulley
-belt tensioner pulley
-thermostat and housing
-accessory belt

plus all the regular oil/filter changes, my dad used to change it every 6k miles with Mobil 1.

My question is, should I buy any of this things again, or should I simply buy whats missing from the ECS kit? I would then buy the kit completely at 120k miles.

Anything else not on the list/ecs that I should buy? I did all my suspension/bushings/tie rod about a month ago, so I'm good in that department.

Thanks for any kind of help!!

NOW:
Buy AC tensioner, coolant overhaul kit (sell the expansion tank), TB power steering flush, tranny and diff fluids.

@ 100k miles:
Brakes (pads/rotors/fluid flush) and suspension (To include CAB's, endlinks, tie rods, and shock/strut), and vanos.

Depends if you can get kit or individual parts cheaper. I'm thinking the kit is probably the route to go.

Brake fluid is every 2 years or 30k. Unless you have ATE Blue - then annually.

Looks like you already had tstat and housing done too... can sell with expansion tank.
