I bought the vehicle with the DP chip installed had 30000 ks on it!So nearly 200000 ks with the chip.Fuel consumption open road 8-8.5 lph two passengers,
No luggage.Towing a Jayco 17.58 poptop Outback 14- 16 lph .yes it blows most into the weeds ! Serpentine pretty easy to replace.Found the plastic idler pulley bearings wore out quickly.Chinese rubbish!Use the metal pulleys ,press in out
brgs so can fit quality brgs.As Clarky said,sway bar mounts can wear quickly
Front diff mounts are another wear area.Centre one easy to fit,sides are painin the a….s! I change oil at around 6000 ks,auto,diffs,transfer case (.use Mobil 424)
every thirty thousand.
