Default YES!
The timing belt, the serpentine belt, the t-belt tensioner and roller, and the thermostat.

Expect the total to be near $1000 when all is said and done. I had the same thing happen at 56k (or thereabouts).

Well, the water pump went out on my 4.2. Might as well do the timing belt. Anything else to replace?

How much to replace the water pump? Should you replace timing belt, too? Car has 20K.

I was looking through old images of my former ride. This is one of my favorite of the pics I kept.
