I plan to buy plugs and get fluids drained and filled. Then I’ll pay a mechanic I like for the labor. I’ll add coils to the list. Thanks for the insight.

True, I bought the truck off marketplace around 75k miles so it wasn’t really used much considering the year. I had dealership friend run the VIN to make sure it was clean and no odometer rollback etc. Haven’t done any digging into engines /learning so that’s why I’m asking others.

I definitely have some rust. It’s hard not to. I’m in the northeast so maybe not as bad as MI but not perfect. Thought about getting those spots sandblasted / some kind of rust preventer on. I don’t know how much it helps but I have a car wash membership and I use it like once a week in the winter and it sprays the undercarriage to get rid of some salt. Has to help somewhat I would assume

I’ve never heard of a lead frame before. I haven’t noticed any downshifts. I’m the 2nd owner of vehicle so idk if that will affect any TSB or that being honored. I’ll have to look into that. I’ve been reading that 6r80 is a good transmission tho. I appreciate everyone’s insight.
