Tbf my Cruiser never left me walking. I think people overstate how expensive they are to own. Just don’t give into the Mud OCD.

 

Get a Camry

 

Hmm that seems like a pretty good option. I'll have to shoot him a message.

 

No one is swayed by words more than you my friend; you give in to everything everyone says everywhere

Don't get a Land Cruiser, you don't need that kind of stress in your life.

Enjoy the truck, especially with all the work you've got done on it.

 

people who return Amazon knock off filters to the local store in the original OEM box can suck it

 

Fuuuck that sucks

 

yerrrp

beware of the ford 6.0 oil filters there are literally so many fakes. supposed to change my neighbor's later but now I gotta make some more trips to find an oem one on the shelves, or at least one that isn't pure jank

 

Why that one specifically?

 

calling it out because he has a 6.0, but every single 6.0 filter I've seen from online order has been fake. it's a simple cartridge filter with plastic end caps so it's easy to counterfeit?

 

Ford dealer the best option then?

 

for sanity sake, yeah. even the fuel filters aren't safe lol

reasonably you can find OEM filters at the part stores but you gotta make sure you don't buy one without opening the box and looking at it closely

 

That sucks; is the cost difference so large that they steal the real ones and place fake ones in lieu of them and return them?

 

Yeah, just walk really carefully out of that room and don't do anything until you're a country mile away

 

pretty much, filter is $20 on Amazon, $30 at the parts store, $50 at the dealer

sometimes the fakes don't even fit in the oil filter cap because the tabs are malformed (or non existent), which could be another reason someone would want to ditch it via return

 

Its like working in a salad

 

Maybe I'm doing salad wrong but shouldn't there be less dirt

 

You just have to be patient, the rest needs to grow yet. Also, pick out the ballast, it is excessively crunchy.

 

You're not out by state hwy 126 are you? Near Santa Paula/Fillmore? Kinda looks like that area
