Well, since the new timing belts are reputed to last 120K, and we just replaced my wife's idler pully - smooth still, but making a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssssssshhhhhhh that was audible outside the truck, at 110K miles, I think you just helped slay the last temptation.

Except maybe the water pump. Practically new.

I have this thing about bulletproof and perfect.
I get no end of grief from Justin's coworkers at Burt (though, I notice they are a little that way themselves...)

Yeah.....I was kinda tempted to keep the original water pump on my motor too. My 3.4 motor had 62K on it and the pulley still had that nice tight feeling to it. Knowing I'll be back in there in 60K to replace the timing belt it was rather tempting to keep the original water pump. BUT...after considering how deep it is in the motor, I figured $120 is little to pay for some piece of mind, and I replaced it.
