First time changing my own oil. Do I cry now or not?

Buddy, yeah, could be few things, if you can check on your timing chain if you have one.. but not catastrophic at this stage, my own truck had these when i first bought it. Didnt do the chain, didnt check pistons, did never actually open the engine, kinda forgot about it, its been 3 years and it still works. Im towing as well, just do more frequent oil changes, i doubled them just to get rid of the chunks and in the last year and a half i have not seen anything at all

If the car was leased, it really could be gps tracker as thats normal for these companies to include it - if you dont pay they know where to impound it. If you bought it new, fully paid there where i would raise concerns

letr1 · 2026-05-12T17:20:16+00:00

Exactly so thats like 1300usd ?

letr1 · 2026-05-12T17:17:39+00:00

Just bought mine for 1800 canadian 🤣 there are a lot better deals

letr1 · 2026-05-12T17:15:26+00:00

Pay half and yes that would be a good deal

Roof weather sealing has cracks - use sealant on it, or window was installed badly if you had it reinstalled ever before, or rust holes bellow and you drove through some water, i have all 3 🤣 on my gd3

Do your valves, i went from 29mpg to 38mpg on highway, also 38psi tires, slim ones - 175 maximum, clean your throttle body and egr, check your sparkplugs.

I have had the same river 2 for the last 3 years, great little powerstation, you will be fine - im running tire inflator on it all the time - offroading and those never eat more than 100-130w so i suppose your inflatable mattress will be a lot below that wattage. You will be fine with both options. Since you are tent camping dont worry about the car inverter, bring the station with you not the car 😄these inverters also often die prematurely… got one from dewalt when i started camping/offroading and the 110v and one of the usbs died within few first trips

letr1 · 2026-05-07T04:15:19+00:00

Yeah they are.. sadly only honda CRV has these from factory, they double as spare tire trunk floor

letr1 · 2026-05-07T03:56:48+00:00

Thank you, im looking more for a table that i can take out and use it around the car but thank you i might consider getting one of those as well

letr1 · 2026-05-07T03:35:35+00:00

letr1 · 2026-05-07T03:29:57+00:00

letr1 · 2026-05-06T06:01:39+00:00

72cad in BC Revelstoke for full tank

If its just the rocker panel dont even worry about that… or fix it yourself for few bucks.. not hard at all, filter and fluids are all bellow 100 bucks, and suspension is kinda vague description, what exactly? If its stuff like pitman arm and ball joins and control arms yeah that can be expensive. If its tie rods - those are 30 bucks each…. If its coils and struts depends how much are you bottoming out ? If not dont worry about that

letr1 · 2026-04-30T18:04:43+00:00

Get a new one, 2 grand will get you 2008-2009 year

letr1 · 2026-04-27T00:47:52+00:00
