I've got a 2002 1500 Chevy Silverado with 83,500 miles on it and I've always been religious about 3000 mile oil changes.
I'm the original owner and not mechanically inclined or physically able (bad back) enough to do the work myself.
Everything is all original and I know belts get hard and crack with age and hoses have a tendency to get soft and mushy feeling so for prevenitive maint. I'm seriously considering going ahead and having all of the 16 year old belts, hoses and water pump changed.
I had my free tire rotation done this morning at the local Firestone where I normally trade and they quoted me $767.00 OTD for belts, hoses, water pump, new coolant and the labor.
Thoughts ?
