Coraplast from street ad signs works great...free if you make a stop or two

IIRC the donor trash can was a whole $5 at Wal-of-China-Mart. Even hacking your used Rotella or washer fluid jugs will work, they are basically free.

BTW, spending all my free time ethnically re-engineering this brand new $25K vehicle is really what drove me off the deep end to sell it. It has been so peaceful the past 7 months with something dependable, have almost regained my sanity.

I have spent $3231.00 mods and oil changes. This includes Husky Liners/Sylvania Bulbs/OME Lift/Hercules Tires/3" Custom Catback/ASFIR Skids & StepSliders/Amsoil Air Filter. Only $317.00 to fix EHM/SEGR/2002 Air Box...things to correct some shortcomings. The rest is on Oil Changes and Tire Rotations. Not that bad for 31,700 miles considering less than $800.00 is for the oil changes/tire rotations and "fixes". The balance of ~$2431.00 has been by choice...Lift/Tires/Exhaust/Skids/Steps/Lights/Husky Liners...not that bad IMHO. The future "Suncoast" will be one more "fix" planned and the InMotionTuning will be one more "choice".

I know some had many more and much bigger problems than me...well, except for the entire engine replacement under warranty at 8,100 miles :wink:

The only other warranty item was a replacement Fuel Head from leaking heater connection.

If I take all the maintenance items/tires/fixes, I get a grand total of $1,457.00. That means (not including fuel/insurance/interest of loan), it has cost me $.05/mile. If you add in the .$12/mile for fuel cost...only $.17/mile for the last 31,700 miles. Not that bad!
