Here is a summary of my (ominously) anticipated 99,880kM service..

What needed to be done for sure..

Timing belts & belt pullies
Drivers side Caliper

What I actually decided to have done after humming and hawing it for a bit..

Both rotors
Both Calipers
New pads.
Both sets of front bearings (inner and outer)
Timing belts & Belt pullies.
AC recharge.

What was found additionally.

Leak in the front crank seal.
Snaped bolt for the bull bar. (removed old installed new)

Final total..

Calipers, rotors ,bearings & pads $468
Front oil seal $17
AC recharge $60
Timing belt & pullies 55GBpounds
Labour $300

Results..

10 days with the truck off the road, but at the labour rate I paid I can deal with that.

Milage is now 10.8L/100kM (25.5 mi/imp Gal), better than the 12.5 to 13 I was getting before service. I am guessing it is a combination of lower rolling resistance with the bearing change (burnt bearings were found) and the new belts.

Front end is much tighter. There is still a slight shimmy between 95KM/h and 100KM/h but I think that is tires and should be fixed by a tire rotation.

AC worked for 3 days before something let go. I was able to track the leak to something close to the compressor as it blead off. Could even be the new R134 adapter installed. I will have the Mechanic look at this weekend I hope.

All in all it turned out OK...I have put 1,000km on it since the work was done.

Next is to find a local shop to whip up a new 2.5" exhaust as the muffler I got with the truck is on its last legs.

WOW! Your truck keeps you busy! Good job.

Cheers,

You should have did the water pump while you did the timing belt. That is a big increase in fuel effciency. Maybe I should look at getting my bearings checked.

Actually I looked at that as well myself while the mechanic was doing the work.. The weeping hole was a dry as a bone with not even a hint of a ring of where fluid had dripped, pooled or evaporated...

that doesn't meat it won't start weeping tomorrow though. I changed my water pump while I had everything apart. my thinking is why not do it all at once...then you know its all good and should last a while.

Anybody got a part# for the Water pump? My Paj is getting belts done tomorrow! If I can find one in time I'll get that done as well.

a new water pump won't give you better fuel efficiency...if the bearing is fried then you have bigger problems then fuel effeciency.

I used a brand new GMB water pump but im sorry I don't have the part number for it. and it is DIFFERENT than the 2.3 4D55 water pump. I guess you can adapt the 2.3 water pump to the 2.5 with the 2.3 water pipe, they must be different.
