Nature of the beast. My F150 has over 200,000 miles and all I've replaced are the u-joints, water pump and the radiator (finally gave out at 195,000 miles). Every car has it's own maintenance that must be more closely followed than others.

 

-One more question. I read that I need a DRB scan tool after replacing the timing belt. Do I need this if the car is running fine before replacing? Or is this just something that needs done after a belt has been broken?

L8R,
Matt

 

Don't need it AFAIK. Dodge wants to hook that damn tool up for everything, and charge you $100 to do it.
