Definately change the tranny fluid. Maybe brake fluid too. At least bleed them.
As for timing belt @ 60k.... Really? I thought it wasn't suggested until about 90k? Out of the whole 'crew', we've only done one so far at 80k+. About to do mine @ 85k, but I might be replacing a head gasket so that is why I'm thinking of doing it before the 90k mark.
Might not be a bad idea to check all the suspension bushings, endlinks, etc.
I had to replace my tstat, might want to check that as well... Definately do the normal accessorybelt. Very easy to do.

I have 100K+ on my 03 and I just did the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner at around 95K. Never had problems. Just to be safe, I would reccommend changing them at around 85K, so start saving now lol. You should also change the air filter. Otherwise, look in the service manual and see what they suggest at 60K since you are within 10K miles.

I would have been 70 years old before I had to do most of this stuff to my SRT-4!!!! And yes, I still miss it. Today I started my truck and my left foot went right to the spot where the clutch pedal would have been on the SRT-4........and I still reach for "air" where the shifter would have been..........![Frown](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)

remember too it's not just mileage but also age. belts and other rubber parts start to dry out and crack, so you need to check your parts and make sure they don't need replacing. justbecause a car only has say 40k on her, but is 5 years old, doesn't mean that belts don't need to be changed. it's kinda like an oil change, mileage OR time, both play a part in maintenence.
also, if your doing any major work to the car that requires removing of the head it's a good time to change everything anyway, just as a preventative measure.i'm also not a fan of putting used belts back on a car. they're cheap, just get a new one.
