I just finished the 60,000 on my 99 and I wouldn't pay the ridiculous amount the dealer charges. You can do the plugs by yourself in 30 minutes, get a spark plug socket with a swivel attatched and long extension (about 8") and get it done. The shops that do a fluid EXCHANGE, not flush as Steve stated work great. They machine has a large reservoir of new fluid and hooks to the cooler lines going into the bottom of your radiator. The vehicle is started and old fluid is circulated out and the new in. Also because the pressure is a constant there really is no chance of underfilling your trans. All you really need to maybe pay for based on your desire/skills is your diffs and transfer case, and maybe bearing repack. I don't have that kind of coin either, and they ding you so hard on LABOR, for jobs that really take little time, effort or knowlege. I would be curious to know why the manual says valve clearance adjusted, and yet the dealer looks at me like I just shot his dog, any ideas???
