Replaced gasket between MAF and intake pipe, and the intake boot connecting ring and gasket, vacuum cap, throttle body gasket, and replaced a missing hose clamp, trying to diagnose occasional unstable idle. $73.74 including a new driveshaft end bushing I will put on when I install the giubos and driveshaft spacer.

Replaced starter with a new OEM Bosch unit ($247.99). Battery also failed but Costco gave me a full refund since it was only 2.5 years old. They didn't have any more AGM batteries in stock, only regular ones, so I paid $120 for the new one and they gave me a $176 refund. So my total out of pocket for new battery and new starter was $192. Tripometer was reset at 134452 odometer.

Very cold out today which made the odo completely readable. Odo at 134240 while tripometer was at 238.5. Also the trifecta came on twice this morning but didn't seem to affect driving. Will investigate more if it comes back.

Swapped tires at 133055, which makes for about 3,000 miles on these awful Toyo truck tires. I've put about 30,000 miles on them since buying them with the car in 2016. Time to throw them away. Snow tires only have 10,500 on them at this time. Also replaced fuse for 12v sockets, so I can finally charge things in my car.

Replaced front tension struts, bushings, and ball joints. Had a lot of trouble since the previous owner torqued down the external Torx bolts with a normal hex-head wrench. New ball joints came with new internal-wrenching torx bolts. $242.58 total. Odo is 131xxx, tripometer is 160-something

Put in $60 of plus - couldn't read either Odo or tripometer. Tripometer x3x.9 Odometer looks like 130610 (had to wait and calculate later based on tripometer when the odometer became visible). Last fill up was 130503 on odo. Figure this out next fillup. Looks like it may have actually been 130403.

Changed oil and filter at around 130280. Almost 10k on this oil, due to lots of highway road trips. Also swapped on the A/Ts. Hopefully my last season on these crappy truck tires. Makes for another 4500 miles on the snow tires this season, for about 10,500 total.
