The previous owner didn't do much with the truck, other than drive it around town. The engine was grimy, dirty, and in need of some basic maintenance.
-I installed a fresh fuel filter. The old filter wasn't awful, but it had been there for a few years and the element was dirty.
-I installed a new PCV valve and grommet. The old valve was clogged and the grommet was loose in the valve cover. Crankcase pressure was escaping around the valve and drooling oil all over the valve cover.
-While I under the hood, I gave the top of the engine a good cleaning. This exposed rust spots on the chrome valve covers and air cleaner. They are quality Edelbrock dress up pieces, but they're showing their age. These will get replaced someday down the road.
Once I get the truck "roadworthy", I will take the time to change the oil, transmission fluid, etc. It may not be necessary, but it's worth it for the piece of mind.
