So I expect the turbos to go. Soon-ish.

The water pump was done at 72k miles.

I paid out of pocket for walnut shell blasting of the valves.

The HPFPs were both replaced eons ago —which means they’ll come back as well as injectors.

I have the water drainage tubes blown out every year.

But this still leaves the IBC (intelligent battery cable) as an issue. The rear air suspension.

I don’t know. It still runs well.....that’s why I thought I’d ask. Appreciate all of the thoughts thus far, guys.
