it's on Austin, just need to take pictures....

I've read Gadgets site, and thought about the URD kit, but $$$ just isn't there yet. basically I'm trying to think of things that i might need to replace, or look at, because of my mileage.

Allen-

You said timing "chain" - it's a belt. That might be what you meant, but I just wanted to let you know.

Good luck with the SC'r. I want one too!

Just because you have that many miles I would not be worried about anything additional you would need to do as long as everything is in good working order now. You might want to think about getting a valve body upgrade if you have an auto tranny.

Yeah, so what all is entailed with that? Will I have any down time with it? Or do they give me a core charge til I send them my stock valve?

Depends entirely on where you send/take it to get it done. If you take off yours and send it somewhere they might charge you a core charge if they have one to send you until they get yours. If not, you can wait for them to work on yours until they send it back to you. Or, just drive the truck in and they will do it in a day.
