Just started my summer major maintenance project -
1) Complete suspension overhaul (including springs, air and subframe bushings) - everything is original never replaced (2005 4.4 134k miles)
2) Engine and trans suspension replacement
3) valve cover gasket (smoke at idle issue) and upper timing gaskets. I have proof it's not the valve stem seals.
4) Trans fluid filter change
5) New front/rear brake pads/rotor
6) Brake fluid flash
I have already visited the temple, church, alter, mosque and medicine-man's cave for blessings. Got the thumbs up all round! The medicine man had a special offer that, at a hefty fee, he can give me a portion that will turn my X5 into an X5M 2018 the morning after I'm done. I of course declined.
Just kidding about the above second paragraph
Wish me luck on my project though!
