Not a word about preventative maintenance? Do you just wait until something breaks? How about KNOWING the installation date on your battery and plan on replacing it 5 years later? How about replacing the regulator on the alternator every 70K? How about new belts, coolant and idling pulley every 100K? And for the 8 and 12 cylinder guys, how about the "tee" fitting and hoses every 100K. And don't forget about that nest of vacuum hoses on top of the 119 engines. I just replaced 12 coils and 12 plugs because they were 18 years old. And to be doubly sure, how about the 200 mile towing package on your AAA card?
Sorry I'd rather carry a bottle of wine, a corkscrew and some glasses than half of my garage tools the next time I planned a 1000 mile trip into Utah.
