So, Friday my mechanic discovered that I was getting rod knock at the bottom of my V8 and gave me two choices. Rebuild the engine or trade it in before it goes completely. I am sad to say I traded it in yesterday for a 2018 Santa Fe Sport. It has half the cylinders, just over half the horsepower but comes with the next 5 years/60,000 miles worry free. I wanted to keep it but I can't justify putting another few thousand dollars in a vehicle I already put a $3000 transmission into. I only paid $6,000 for it to begin with.
So a big thank you to everyone here for all the help and advice I have gotten and say goodbye for now.
