Cabin filter replaced (amazing how big it is). Still waiting for a day to get underneath the beast and possibly top off the transmission fluid (if needed). I also ordered a blackstone oil lab kit for next oil service. Possibly get a quick oil analysis to see the relative health of the motor without dropping the oil pan.

Vehicle still pulls like a freight train. No real chain slap or "marble in can" noises at all. I have a startup squeal from the starter so that'll have to be replaced sometime soon. A bit embarassing having the startup squeak in public...Other times it starts up perfect - super quiet.
