Cool, just inherited in-laws' 05 Sable. I could see a plug wire arcing in the back, figured it's never had plugs since they bought it in '06....was not looking forward to pulling intake for wires and plugs in the rear. Glimmer of hope in your post!
Plugs are tough back there since they are way down in the hole but it's doable,my biggest fear was cross threaded them but I sprayed some carb clean in the hole (had light rust on the original plug threads) and started them with a short piece of 3/8" rubber hose. My factory plugs were fine tip Motorcraft platinum's that looked nearly identical to my Bosch replacements. Here is the video I referenced.

Changed the transmission fluid in my 2010 ram 1500 5.7L hemi I kind of ignored it for some time. Fluid was pretty dark but magnet was clean thankfully. She got two filters. Glad i checked before hand because the geniuses at oreilly tried to give me the kit with just the main fliter and said thats all it had. I had to show him on my phone.
It also has a screw in filter Its got 160K on it but its mint. People think its a 2016

next up is the rear diff fluid

And I still applaud Car and Driver for rating it DFL as car of the year when it pulled that sh*t on them. Strangely though I don't hear a lot of complaints from folks who track them here.

Specifically bought the non Z06 because of all the problems they have/had and procharged it.

They're spun pretty damn high in the C7Zs, those blowers are only like 1.9L. I know folks spin them higher, hell I would, but I bet yours spits out way cooler air.

Finished winterizing the fleet members that see winter weather.

Put a coat of wax on my wife's van yesterday, and oiled down the underneath of it today, along with the Cop Vic and my Wagon. Then spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up the mess in the shop.
