I recently purchased a used 2000 9.3s with an auto trans. The warranty is about to run out and I’m checking everything I can before it does. I'm having the usual things replaced (front emblem & b-pillar covering tape), but what else should I check for? Should I pay the dealer to run an inspection to see if anything is up? My gas mileage is not stellar (27-28 @ 70 mph) could this be a problem. My wife gets 30-30 in our 1998 900s with the 2.3L I4 and I thought I would do at least that good.
Also, I didn’t get an owners manual with the 2000 9.3, so I’m not sure if it is normal for the turbo boost to be running in the middle of the white (first section) constantly?? And what is up with this DIC thing? From the other posts here I gather they are the black plate on top of the engine. Mine has some paint bubbling up in the depressed area of the plate. Is that problematic and can the dealer do a check on it?
Should I invest in an extended warranty???
Thanks for any help!
