He has at that. After seeing what some of the labour costs I am glad I do my own work.

Not for what they give you for a trade. I think at this point he is pretty upside down.

Mine is pretty good with fuel for a big truck. Maintenance is a little higher with the diesel though.

I let Ford do the oil changes. I can't do it that fast and still wash it.

I do mine. Last week I drained the tranny pan and filled. Did a rear pinion seal as well. The vent on the axle was plugged which caused the leak. That gear oil aint cheap here.

That makes a big difference. Mine is no more than 15 minutes away.

Yes it does. I probably wouldn't take it for that stuff anyway. I enjoy turning wrenches.

$30. oil changes and a wash is affordable. Every third OC is free.
