    Completed my 60K service on 12/27/19 which included...

    - OEM Wiper Blades (hands down, best blades on the market)
    - Transmission flush, filter change
    - Oil change
    - Tire rotation
    - EFI fuel system tune up.....I said I would never pay for this service when I can run some BG44K through it like they do but they gave me the oil change and tire rotation free so I said WTH.

    Dealer recommended the engine tune up at 60K?......I didn't go that route because they wanted $280 for it and all I believe they do is change plugs. Besides....I have called up there to ask when plugs should be changed and one guy said 30K.....Another guy said they're good for 100K. Now this service tech says 60K ?? I'll just change the plugs myself for that.


    Also had the tech snag me a sample of the trans fluid so I could see. Looks pretty black to me but didn't see any metal flakes/shavings at all.

    KO2s were some of the best tires I've ever owned on any vehicle. They get hated on, but they're damn good tires.

    I was just hesitant to go back with them because I only got 30K miles out of the last set. They were rotated every 5000, and I had my alignment checked several times and it was spot on each time. I'm not sure what was wrong with that set but I hope I get more out of this set.

    I had those Cooper ST Maxx on my last truck and loved those tires. They were put through some tough terrain and never failed me. Even when Jimbo and Brad went through and had flats...Mine never did.
