will b the best $900 u ever spent, if u plan on keeping her a while..... If u plan on doin the wp urself, then u might as well do the belt too, U WILL have to take the belt off to do the pump.... Its not that big a deal, just take ur time, and follow directions from a haynes or the fsm.

Whats the service interval on the tb? Mine was done at 89K and I now have 162K on it, so its done 73K miles.

The early years were 60k and then the interval bumped to 90k miles circa '98. Seems the materials in the belt changed and since the pre-'98s use the same belt they can go 90k now too. Keep an eye on the WP as the miles approach 90k.

Given enough heat, fiberglass can stretch too. Belts stretch and break.
