SILVER Star
Our 100 is now over 6 years old. Its mostly driven around town so we only have 72K miles on the truck.
Anyhow, I come from the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of maintenance. I can see the the S-belt is cracking. I'm going to replace that myself, but I'm worried about the timing belt and waterpump, plus all the other maintenance tasks (fluid swaps, re-packing this and that, etc.) that usually take place at 90K. It'll be sometime in late 2007 before we hit 90K. That's probably too long of an interval.
Other than replacing the S belt at this point, what other maintenance tasks would be stupid to NOT do at this point? I can spend the money for a 90K service, but replacing perfectly good parts with new parts gives me a headache. What fluids should be changed? Which of these tasks can be done in my garage with little hassle and which should be left to a pro?
Lotsa questions. Sorry, but thanks for the advice.
