For what you're doing with it as long as the tread depth is close, don't worry about it.

First failure weeeee.   Fuel filter burst with a pin hole.  Not sure how much fuel I lost but made it home and noticed the spraying puddle.

stopped by regional to pick up a fuel filter and ask if they forgot about getting me a service quote....


636$ for trans / motor oil and filters and NYS inspect.



i found it kinda funny that the parts cost for the fuel filter was 32$ on the service quote, and at the parts window 10 steps over they handed me a filter for 12$. 


i think ill take my business elsewhere.

There is always a mark-up on parts at a shop.  Helps pad the bill...

I'd ask them about it.

But then again I'd also not pay someone else to change my oil in most circumstances...

I think your too used to getting parts from Arie and doing work yourself.  Higher prices on parts if your having work done is not out of the ordinary.   That said towing company will not use them for business anymore for a reason.
