- '10 Eddie Bauer V8 4x4
Any pointers would be appreciated.
In November of 2009, my tranny went bad. I didn't have the money to get it fixed, and I had a '93 that was serviceable, so I just started driving it instead. Now it is in need of lots of repair, so I think it's time to fix the '96 and reinstate it, and do a total restore on the '93 for my daughter's future driving needs while I'm driving the '96.
The '96 is an Eddie Bauer 4x4 with about 300,000 miles on her.
Known problems: (Truck has been stored outside the whole 2 years)
1) Of course, the tranny.
2) Blend door
3) CD player dead
4) Fuel has been sitting all this time - don't know at what level
5) Interior infested with spiders/spider webs (What kills spiders?)
6) Needs 4 new tires
7) Both rear door interior pulls need to be replaced/are broken.
8) Electric antenna plastic gear strip broken, but motor still works
9) needs new battery.
10) What else will I most likely encounter in this situation?
I need to get her on the driveway and clean her up before the tow truck takes her to Colman Taylor.
I think I know what I want to do for numbers 1, 2, 6, 7, and 9. Would love some input on all the other stuff!
Thanks,
George
