Hey all. I am at about 93k on my 2001 and was wondering when most of you have done or plan to do your 90k service. I have been putting it off for financial reasons.
Timing of 90K service ?

Did mine at 110 or so. And that was only because it was in for other service. No worries. You're driving a tank.
I still haven't gotten my timing belt done at 151k. Hopefully when the weather gets warm I'll knock it out.

most TBs at 90K dont have anything wrong with them....nor does the water pump which you should change out as well.
My first timing belt was not replaced until 141K. My second replacement is due in about 5K but I am putting it off for about another 10K. You should be fine for a while.

Looking for the end of the road...
90k done at 107k
The problem with delaying is the list of things to do at the same time becomes unrealistically long.
I just replaced the sparkplugs at 151k. Only one of the 8 showed some slight wear. They really didn't need replaced. No change in performance.

I changed mine at 140K. I bought the truck at 138K. My service guy (indy) said he has seen them go 2 times the recommended service...I didn't want to take that chance though.
You're not just buying the parts, you're paying for peace of mind. Just did mine on a '99 with 105k that I bought earlier this year. Now I don't have to think about it or worry about it if we take a long trip. It's not cheap, but at the rate we drive we'll do it every 8-10 years which I can deal with.

I have 86K on my 2005 right now and I will be doing the timing belt at 90K exactly. The risk is not worth it to me. Sure it may go much longer with out it. but I don't want to be the one who finds out how much longer. Look into the cost of a timing belt vs. the cost of a new engine.
123K on my t-belt and starter. Will replace starter this weekend. T-belt next time I have an oppportunity.
Are you having starter issues?
At 90K I started looking for someone with a broken TB. I changed it at 129K and gave up on finding a broken one. But I did find several that went over 200K on the original belt before changing.
300k on your rig? Incredible!
Just a heads up, I recently bought a mall cruiser, very well kept its entire life; anyway, at 146k miles the t-belt looked very worn, could've probably snapped anytime. FYI. You might want to do it sooner than later; or at least check it if its original.
