Howdy y'all,

I recently purchased an exclusively Southern kept, garaged 240DL Automatic, with 252k on her. Runs great, tranny tight no slop, no valve tapping or hesitation. Going to run compression check, and flush fluids this weekend. She only had one owner and is in impeccable condition.

What I would like to know what those of you that have 87 240's is what should I be aware of or on the lookout for.

I have already redone an 84 244 and been down the wiring harness road, oy! To my knowledge this one has not had the harness replaced, but will address that when she shows symptoms.

Suggestions, comments, warnings? She is for my sister and would like to make sure I've done what I can for it before handing it over.

Thanks guys!
