Truck runs great, how to keep it that way?

[bd1980]

My 99 OBS Escalade runs great, was really treated good by the old couple that I bought it from a year and half ago. I've done a LOT of minor things to get it to where I'm really comfortable with its reliability (plugs, cleaned filthy egr and tb, nickel slip yoke, every fluid swapped, etc). I read of a lot of people having problems with the fuel injection system. Is there anything I can be doing to prevent problems down the road, or will it just happen?

just keep them cleaned but it is better to just change it out to avoid a bigger problem that hits you at a bad time.

if you truly want an obs to stay running great just park it. and only look at it lol

Buy AAA and keep some money handy to fix it if it breaks.

You mean when it breaks.

So replace the spider assembly this summer? What is the exact part number I will need and where is the best place to buy it from? I'm assuming just pull the intake and replace gaskets while i got it apart. Thanks guys.

at least one valve cover has to come off and the gasket kit has a seal for one but if you like to do both...
