    Tune Up

    Hey guys, I just picked up a 1996 chevy reg cab, short box Z71 for a work truck. It has the 5.7. Just wondering what to do for tune up or any mods anyone has done to this motor? It has 157k on it. Super clean no wet spots.

    Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil and filter change.

    keep an extra cap/rotor in the truck...NOTORIOUS for going bad. Buddy has to do his like 3-4 times a year.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Thanks guys. So the normal tune up. As for mods I want the Nelson tune, I have had several trucks tuned by him. This truck is just my work truck so ill prob just do intake exhaust and tune.
