I love these posts: means I saved $500+ doing it myself. I don't know about saying drive belts are 'good'. Just because they look fine, if you don't KNOW their age, and you are doing a TB/WP for $805, why would you NOT change them for another $60 or so if you are keeping the truck a while? The original ones I took off at 120K LOOKED fine, although alt. belt WAS starting to squeak even though it was tight.

I agree on leaving the seals if there is no sign of trouble. I bought them just in case, but didn't put them in.

The belt and water pump would have been around $550, it was $800 for the belt the pump and both bearings, I said that in the post. After getting to drive the truck a bit it's quite a bit more smooth sounding at idle most likely because the bearings that were pulled were bad. The water pump was leaking so all in all everything that got replaced was due. I was really happy with the service and if you are in the Sacramento area I would really recommend TOS I have some cards that give some discount on service for referrals if anyone is interested. The guy I dealt with was Tom.
