After 8 hours, 18 beers, and a Black Forest Sub, I completed the 1st maintenance service including the valve check. I still don't honestly see why my communist dealer wanted to charge over a grand to do it, but whatever. To those who are on the fence of whether or not to do it yourself, just do it yourself and put the money you saved back into more accessories.

Yeah if your dealer wanted 1k to do the 1st service, that's robbery. Mine was $358 but I removed all the plastics. They quoted me $450.

Yep, they even attempted to tell me that a lot of it was for the parts. (I laughed and told them "parts" are about $120

I thought the same thing. I was shocked that they quoted me that much after seeing what y'all had to pay. The hardest part for me was taking the drain plug out of the rear diff because of my fat hands.

Need to learn so I can keep from sending to dealer for up keep and wasting money that can be spent on better things.

 

[oldcanamman]

do you need a shim kit to adjust the valves? or how do they adjust?

Haha, most of that video would have to be bleeped out from me cursing so damn much. Some of those spots, my buddy had to loosen a nut for me because I couldn't get my hands in there.

This one I used real quick because I forgot my manual at home and forgot the specs for the valves.

 

[West Texas Raider]

were your valves within spec?

They were spot on. I was very pleased.

 

[03maxpower]

Mine were in spec also.

Exactly, and you're able to become more familiar with your machine as well.

Yeah, I can see a lot of them being in-spec early on, but later on down the road on the second or third maintenance, there might need changes.
