Default New to me 2005 King Ranch Questions

I know it is sweating out of the rear pinion seal so I am going to replace that and do front and rear differential fluid. It has about 226000 km (140430 miles) and seems to run well but I'm looking at opinions on a tune up and beyond. In the last 15 months the previous owner has done a pile of work. New cam phasers and sprockets, front and rear brakes, transmission lines, front socks, and some smaller stuff.

I'm thinking on giving it a tune up just to make sure it's been done but am debating on changing the ATF and filter. For me it's a case of don't mess with it if it's not a problem, but on the other hand I don't know if it's ever been done. What do you think? The fluid isn't dark and doesn't smell burnt at all. I would imagine at the very least some was added when the lines were replaced. The previous owner wasn't a do it your selfer so all the work was done at a shop.

Thanks.

a pan drop and filter change will get 6-7 qts of it.. then you can see first hand what you got.

So you just figure do a look and see or should I just do a flush and be done with it?

it’s not really a flush... more like a fluid exchange. i did that first service and now just a pan drop every 30K
