U can do it yourself for maybe less than $100.

New spark plugs, maybe new plug wires, new air filter, new fuel filter, clean your maf and iac with the correct cleaner, run some seafoam in the gas to clean the fuel injectors, run some seafoam in your oil for 100 miles then do an oilchange but before the oilchange suck some seafoam in thru the brake bootser vac line to decarbonize the engine..
Your truck will thank u.
I'm only 15 and I wouldnt trust myself doing any of that stuff. I would be too afraid I would break something.

My dad wont help me with any of it either.

However last oil change I did get a new air filter. And when I go into get my next one I will get a radiator flush (if that matters at all).

I've also noticed that I have to push the gas pedal down more If i am going up a hill. Is that because I need a tune up too?
