What are you guys spending annually on maintenance of your rig?

Being the son of a mechanic has its pros!

A couple hundred. Mainly Oil Changes.

At $3,000/car, compare it to a $250/mo car note for each, and that wouldn't include the maintenance you'd have to do to that. And, you can do them as you can afford it, not at a specified date every month.

To answer your question, I think I spent about $3,000 on maintaining the 'hoe over the past 7 mos I've owned it (not including mods, but they all kinda run together), and another $40 on the Honda daily driver

I went overboard and did pretty much everything and anything in the first 12 months I owned the truck. Did I have to some of this, no, but I chose to for peace of mind

All new hoses, every last one
New serpentine belt, idler pully, tensioner
Water pump and thermostat and heater control valve
All new rotors, drums, pads, shoes and brake hardware kits
all fluids except trans (which was done by original owner less than 6 months before I bought it) front and rear diffs, transfer case, coolant, power steering fluid
new tires and wheels
new shocks
new wiper blades
new battery, battery bolts, cables
pcv valve, grommets in the valve covers and connector hoses
new gas cap and radiator cap
spark plugs
headlight assemblies

All new cats, o2 sensors, exhaust going in this week provided the blizzard they're predicting doesn't hit.

How much have I spent, not sure, but it's a good chunk. The truck is also "set" for the next 4 or 5 years outside of oil changes. :::knock on wood:::

most of mine rolled with mods that replaced most of the parts anyway. only BIG thing was the trans, and it could have been saved for much less than i dumped into it to make it what it is.

its an expensive hobby.

It is expensive, thankfully I do everything myself to save the extra few thousand a dealer would sharge.
Besides regular maintanence, I dont want to be spending anything, hah. I have had a couple of random issues that I have never had in any other vehicle I have owned in the past, nor any of my family members.
In the past year I have replaced the ignition control module, ignition lock housing, charcoal cansiter, purge valve, purge solenoid, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, brakes f/r and several oil changes, getting ready to do another .

My newest issue seams to be either a rear main seal leak or an oil filter adapter plate leak. One of the random issues.
