Lars is pissed because he never has the patience to put 100k miles on anything. He gets the itch and trades in. The older he gets, the bigger the truck he gets.

I may actually put 100K on this one. A) because I really like it. B) Because it fits my needs perfectly C) because new ones are hard to come by.

If I end up with an F450 this statement will be correct.

I sold off some nice cars years ago to include a 72 Chevelle 454 which is why I will not sell or trade off my 2008 Superglide. I don't ride much but so what and will hand it down to the kid. Doesn't take up any space

Yours isn't the 2.0 liter turbo, is it? Just saw a nightmare Car Wizard episode on that engine. Timing chain failure at 100-130k and oil burning. Thousands of dollars to temporarily fix, and will never see 200k miles even then. Hopefully you got the rare, non-garbage engine option.

Pads and rotors are peanuts, and Yadkin can service them easily. It's the timing chain job that's looming in the near future that has me making a big bowl of popcorn.

It is the 2.0. that engine probably didn't get serviced properly.

Rotors were $65 each from NAPA. I don't remember how much pads were. Pad sensors very cheap at Rock Auto.
