Agreed CK. I thought the 10% number was a bit high but like I said it stuck in my mind reading it somewhere as LN's estimate numbers. IMO LN's site language is a bit of a scare tactic to sell more parts / service .. simply smart business.

And also the $9k engine replacement number is assuming a $6K used S engine on eBay + install rate @ my indi. Your rates may vary if you can get a deal on engine or doing labor yourself.

On a slightly off topic, I'm running LN's oil filter and my indi mechanic has been nudging at me to go back to stock. Maybe separate thread for oil filters ? LOL
