AMEN...
- purchased April 2007 $2800.00
- New pads & rotors all around and front bearings - $300.00
- Diagnose/replace 3 of 5 ACC switch-over valves - $650.00
- ALL fluids & filters - $300.00
- Valve adjustment - Free
- Rear shocks (Comforts) - $130.00 + 3hrs to Benz Brothers to drill the right rear one out.-$250.00
- Pioneer cd tuner/Kicker 6x9's & Polk 4x6's - $350.00 and an afternoon.
- 5 Glow plugs 3 days ago - $70.00 & 2.5 hours of my time.
- New wheels and tires - $800.00
- belts & cooling flush - $50.00
- Oil cooler hoses this weekend - will have them tomorrow for $130.00 (WorldPac)
I did all except valve adjustment, switch-over valves, rear shocks & trans service.
On the list:
- A/C compressor/dryer/expansion valve - before the Texas heat kicks in - $350.00
- Front & rear calipers and brake hoses - probably cost me around $350 going directly thru WorldPac (benefits of working at a dealer)
- Rebuild the front end - about $900 in parts (same as above)
I'll do the a/c & brakes. Someone else will do the front end...
