Thank You...

I want to thank all those who maintain, host, moderate, and contribute to this great site. I just did some maintenence stuff on my truck. I definately couldn't have done it without this site...

Knock on wood my truck has over 100K now and still running like a champ. To commemorate the 100K's mile, I changed the following items for the first time on the truck.

- New Plugs
- New Fuel Filter
- New Drive belt
- New O2 Sensors all the way around (Don't think I needed them though)
- New New Differential Fluid
- New PCV
- Coolant Flush

Like I said, I couldn't have done most of these things without this site. I called the dealer just for giggles to see how much all this would have cost me... When all is said and done, I saved roughly $1500 by doing this stuff myself. However, even the dealer said I shouldn't be changing the O2 sensors unless I'm getting a fault code. Oh well, it's already done. The truck should be good for another 100K. I do need to change the tranny fluid though and clean my throttle body...

This is the best site on the net for people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and save themselves some cash. I second the kudos!
