"""As for Larry, he made what seems like a classic mistake to me. Some people figure that you can preemptively replace enough stuff as an insurance policy to ensure a more trouble free trip. Time and again this has proven to be a waste of time and money. Fix what is truly broken and save the rest of the money until you really need to spend it."""

I don't agree Mark... when you leave for a 1 to 2 years trip, you do as much as you can so you won't loose to much time in the shop.... that is 60k miles trip! not your everyday weekend trip.

He did one thing wrong, and he knows about it! Wrong choice of engine....but look now, he as an broken AVP after 9k miles...

Life IS A risk!

Cheers, Ben
