Rule #1 for regular out of warranty maintenance never, under any circumstances take your vehicle to a dealership for service
Find a local mechanic with good ratings and take it there. Bonus if you call before hand and they say they are slammed and can’t fit you in that day (that means they’re good)
I took my 2018 Tahoe into a local shop last year for the same type of 100k mile check in and all he said to do was change the spark plugs and start changing oil at 5-6k miles to keep the lifters in my GM 5.3 happy.
With a 2018 Toyota which is a very good year Toyota I wouldn’t do anything but change the oil and plugs but take it somewhere local

I was at 3-2. Surely that gives me some special rant cred

I had a 04 avalanche that was a tank. Beat the shite out of that thing and never any issues. Sold it with 170k miles to a family friend who still drives it to this day. Last I saw it was a couple years ago and it had almost 400k miles and still running good. I think they had to do some suspension work and rebuild the trans at some point but engine still ticking. The GM 5.3 pre AFM is one of the best V8’s ever made.
I nominate the mid to late 90’s chevys though. Great looking and very reliable. I still see a lot of these driving around today and used as work trucks
And the best commercials

Smells like a fake story tbh

I used to drink them every once in a while but have stopped. shite can’t be good for you.
Also, to the people that drink several every day there is a warning label on their cans to limit yourself to 1 or 2 per day. Gonna give yall fricking heart attacks

isnt there a plug and play way to get rid of that?
There are the range AFM disabler that you just plug in to the truck but I’ve read that to fully fix the issue you need to actually take the engine out and remove the lifters.

Yea I saw 5.7 and potentially the 6.6. I dk why they’d put the 6.6 in a half ton.
If they could just take out the cylinder de activation shite in the 5.3 that would be perfect.

My every round putter for a long time has been an older Newport 2 that looks like this. I thinks it’s the 05 or 06 model year. It’s still in great condition and I love it

did anyone else play this game at your high schools football games on the practice field adjacent to the home stands?

as far as michigan...i really am not sure, but Potnoy is pushing Gruden big time, dont think it will be him but maybe
That’s a bit since he works for Dave.
Also, you guys have to get it out of your heads that Portnoy has serious pull at Michigan. He’s internet famous and wealthy but there are way more Michigan donors with deeper pockets than Portnoy. He’s likely laughed at when the actual big money Michigan donors get together.

Last time I was at the Music City Bowl, a front came through literally on the walk to the stadium. That was a cold arse night on the north side of the stadium.
I was there last time we played. Got down to 0 fricking degrees in Nashville. Combined with being New Year’s Eve and it was still crowded everywhere it was pretty damn miserable

What? Please tell me when Kentucky, MSU, Vandy and South Carolina were in the running to win the SEC in the last 10 years. They were everyone's favorite HC opponent.
You said they were guaranteed wins. Now you are moving goalposts to winning the SEC? Just because they weren’t in the running to win the league every year doesn’t mean they weren’t solid programs. Hell, state was #1 in the first CFP poll for 6 weeks.
Those programs do not have the requirements to win the SEC championship but to act like they were just 3-9 teams year in and year out is ridiculous.

hear what you're saying, but the SEC was also top heavy for many years when the SEC was winning NCs with Kentucky, Vandy, South Carolina and Mississippi State guaranteed wins,
That’s just not true at all. Maybe for Vandy but every other team you listed had stretches of being pretty good programs during the 2010’s and late 2000’s.
