My 06: I changed the oil/filter and fuel filter yesterday. Lube job this morning. Rear diff oil changed today.
My 09 is in the shop. It's been there for a week now. Some &*@#% critters chewed up a bunch of wiring underneath, resulting in a repair bill of $4000.00.
I'm not sure when it will be fixed.
Oh how I hate those tree rats, otherwise known as squirrels. They've gotten two vehicles within a block of me, one of them mine.
Well technically my former vehicle. Got up under the hood on my 2011 Ford diesel and chewed through the plastic line going to the fuel filter on top of the engine. Started the truck and OMG diesel fuel everywhere. What a stink!
But at least you will have AWESOME undercarriage protection from salt now! A friends turbo let loose in his CDT and puked diesel all over and that truck looks brand new underneath and it's going on 10 years old in NY (Land of the Winter Salt). All these expensive SUV's running around NY and none of 'em are capable of driving unless the road is bare LOL:)
EDIT: it's gotten so bad that even the MAILBOXES are rusting away after 5 years... the last damn thing I need to do is worry about MAILBOX maintenance!
