Remove the four tires from the vehicle, and clean the wheel studs, hub flanges, and the rims centric. Check the vehicles braking system components for wear, remaining brake material, and signs of pending issues. Reinstall the tires onto the vehicle in their best suited locations based on overall wear, torquing all lugs to factory specification. Inflate all tires to the manufacturers suggested pressure, and visually assess the tread for abnormal wear which may indicate a need for a wheel alignment. Reset the vehicles tire pressure monitor sensor locations where required, using the factory approved TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring) system, scan tool. Road test the vehicle and confirm there is no abnormal handling characteristics following the rotation. Note: Some vehicles may have a slight drift following a tire rotation. This is due to a pattern that developes in some tires due to excessive time in one location. This condition should improve as the tread conforms to the new location / alignment angle. If drifting would not improve, sometimes an alignment or a cross rotation is required.

Drain engine coolant and flush system in both directions with water to remove sediment. Disconnect electrical power and remove the air intake, emissions control harness, injection system components, and necessary sensors to access the engines intake manifold. Remove the engines intake manifold and clean all sealing surfaces for inspection. Remove the attaching hardware for the existing oil cooler assembly and disconnect any electrical connectors. Replace the oil cooler assembly and install all necessary gaskets and o-rings. Tighten the hardware to specification and install a new oil filter into the new oil cooler housing. Check the intake manifold surfaces for warpage and install the new lower intake gaskets. Clean fuel line inlets and replace o-ring seals. Reinstall all removed brackets and accessories, and clean and tighten all removed harness terminals.. Run the engine on the flush equipment until the engine coolant is clean and the acidity is at an acceptable level. Top off the cooling system to capacity with specified amount and type of new engine coolant. Run engine to circulate coolant and check freeze point and acidity to insure a proper mixture is in the system. Run engine to operating temperature and purge any remaining air from the system. Check to verify that the electric cooling fans are operating within their specified temperature range. Check system for leaks and road test. NOTE: If the system develops an air pocket, the coolant level may decrease slightly. If this occurs, the customer should return to have the system topped off. Road test vehicle and rescan processor to insure all systems are working properly, recheck all fluid levels, heat output, and check the system for leaks.
