I just picked up a 1994 B3000, manual transmission and 90k on the odometer. I could use some help with getting started with basic maintenance.
I just changed the oil and filter yesterday (mobile synthetic.) I'm assuming that I should also pull the plugs and look over and check the air filter as well. Anything else?
The only other things that might need addressing are a "raspy" exhaust. It sounds like either the original owner removed a baffle or the packing has since blown out. The canister itself appears to be in good shape cosmetically and looks fairly new.
Is there a shop manual that owner's prefer? I'm used to Hayes manuals for working on motorcycles.
Thanks in advance.
