At the rate I am moving... I will be doing my first timing belt change, hopefully in the spring of next year. I will have have put 70,000 miles on the truck in 18 months by the end of August.
It occurred to me last week that theres a good chance that my water pump, alternator, fuel pump, fuel filter and other such items will last until time for the timing belt change. So I could plan to buy say the alternator and water pump over the next few months, I could buy all the parts, that have to be taken off the engine to put the timing belt in, and just have those parts put back on when things are reassembled.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat to get to 300,000 miles.
Question is.... what parts should I plan on replacing?
