First off, I am willing to pay for any work done.
Bought it just recently. Needs a tune up and look over on it all. I know it has a slight oil leak.

Bird's don't drive and know about auto mechanic labor rates.

Auto Mechanic rates are more in the $60.00 - $125.00 per hour rate.

That reads like the joke of a man who lacks any sort of remnant of T. Just a real nebbish of an old man muttering nonsense to himself.

Well here's some help for you...an early 90s Surburban belongs in a scrap yard or a museum. It does not belong on the streets of our cities.

Important to start with taking care of fluids!

Engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering, differential oil... coolant...
Color, consistency could indicate other problems. Change spark plugs, spark cables, battery...

Give engine compartment a good wash...
Park over cardboard to check for leaks.

You all are so funny.
Thanks for the laughs.

I knew what i was getting. The price was right. It really just needs a tune up and a couple of minor things fixed.

Now y'all go have an amaziang night.
I myself am going to go hydrdate up!

I wonder what other ass-backwards shit she does? Maybe I need to find out. Seriously, fix the oil leak first. Premature discharge of oil is a red flag for a mistreated engine replace your seals.

If you were in the IE I'd have a look and let you know what it needs. Tune ups are easy. Oil leak not so much, depending on where.

I would hate to pay the gas bill on that guy. 40 gal tank.
Damn that's a big tank!

Is it the gas or deisel version?
Depending on how much fixing you want and or what you want to do with it would be good info to add.
