At 80k miles, that belt should only have 20k miles on it... - 4Driver4 2008-10-10 19:35:24 (145 views)

it's not just the belt, I've replaced mine with nothing cracked - ivancolesnic 2008-10-01 15:45:40 (164 views)

on that Model/Year... swap the damn belt every 60k or you are playing russian roulette - ScratchRob13 2008-09-29 09:28:56 (179 views)

So why is the published service interval 120k? - olaf 2008-09-29 16:17:42 (109 views)

Because it's wishful thinking... just like our lifetime fuel filters! - ScratchRob13 2008-09-29 18:47:32 (125 views)

all components in good working order - would have made it to 105k easy - olaf 2008-09-29 04:27:33 (140 views)
