I'm starting to reach pretty high mileage 130k miles. i usually swap out my water pump/belts on most of my vehicles around this time as preventative maintenance. Has anyone done this yet? Difficulty level?

Did you swap the belt? Inspect visually and grab the pulley if have play and turn it over if make any squealing noise or resiatance. Also check for leaks

I have pulled my water pump, just to check it. It's a pretty easy job. You have to remove the pulley 1st, then the water pump. And it will need a new o-ring. It's a pretty sturdy part. I wouldn't worry about it unless it's leaking.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I'm prob going to swap all that out in the spring. Everything is in working order for the time being(belts still look very good).
