What will usually shut you down are rubber parts that are aged --- hoses belts and tires. Air springs are an unknown and some checked ones still keep going. The most neglected things are greasing as Matt said earlier and coolant changes every 2 years drain /fill. Personally if the trans fluid looks proper red on the stick I would not touch it. Many tranmissions have been ruined with the Chinese filters. As long as the old one is not restricted it does not matter. Many engines die because advance mechanism is all gummed up in the dist as the grease has hardened. I have been driving GM HEI since 1976 and NEVER had a module fail. They fail when the rest of the ign system is neglected or plugs set up wrong. And Welcome.
