I'm going to get a coolant flush, change the tranny fluid, & rear end fluid. Are there any write ups on how to do this yourself? I'm not really trying to pay for labor. I'm also going to change the fuel filter.

flush,
drain it, see petcock on lower rad tank?
fill with water and flush juice ( now only orange citrus oil, EPA safe for Killer Whales)
follow label , drive around block,
flush with lots of water. label says it all.
add antifreeze based on total coolant volumn. have op guide , its in there?
so if your cool.ilng cap is 10 quarts (its not), the put in 5 qt of antifreeze (my nums are too big)
and add water, to top
burp out all air.
check every morning , cold and add water till its stays full at rad cap filler.
there are like 10,000 web pages on basic car maintenance.
if flush with cash , use Distilled water. but our water up here is prestine.
lube, that is a little more difficult.
tranny and xfr case.
drain it,
then (tedious) remove side (right side front DO NOT TOUCH RIGHT SIDE REAR BOLT )
fill right side plug hole till it drips out. put back plug GL4.
now do xfr case, plug bottom and side. see em.
do the exact thing, with GL4
axles.
same thing.
bottom drain. and mid plate plug fill till drips out.
this will take for ever with a $2 bottle pump.
so consider that.
problems.
the plugs are glued in( suz sealant 1215) and turns to diamond epoxy after few years.
heat plug with propane torch , and it it with 3/8 " drive end and turn CCW.
i use a breaker bar at 3/8"
your 98 might be easy , if done before. if origional lube is in there, plugs can be tuff.
cheers.
