Potential issues can include premature wear of suspension components (bushings, ball joints) due to road conditions, occasional electrical gremlins (e.g., window regulators, lighting issues), and exhaust system corrosion. Diesel engines (K9K) can be prone to injector issues if fuel quality is poor.
Engine Management Considerations:
On older models, check for coolant leaks around the thermostat housing and water pump. Ensure spark plugs are changed at recommended intervals for optimal performance and fuel economy.
