the waterpump isn't due to be changed until 120k miles. read the service schedule, but i believe it's just the timing belt, balance belt, tensioner, spark plugs, oil, tranny, tc, and rear diff fluids. that's what i had done at my 60k service. I didn't have it done at a dealer though. went to KevinD and saved a ton of money.
if I were you, i'd just get a shop to do the timing belt/balance belt, and do the rest myself. the fluids are all easy, and so are the plugs. i called the dealer out here just to see how much money i was saving by doing the fluids myself. with OEM fluids they wanted $400 to change it out. fluids cost me $90. so i saved $310. They wanted $300 to replace the plugs! the plugs were $42. I saved $258 on a job that took less than 15 minutes. dealerships are crooks for what they charge for the smallest jobs.

Should I change My Spark Plug Wires at the 60,000 mile service??
If yes should I go with the OEM or after market? Thanks for your time & help!!
I had every single item mentioned in the service manual done , including wheel rotation what a waste of money ( and yes waterpump is in there for 60k ) to keep good with my lifetime warranty.. cost me $1300 at local shop
