Start your own thread.

If you have an '02, you dont actually need to change it until 80Kmiles (manual) because the engine was upgraded in that year. However, I don't think the maintenance manuals were upgraded to show this. So you would be running a warranty risk.

But, when it comes to changing the WP, flip a coin. Many wait until 120k with no problems.

You don't say where you are. $750 includes water pump and coolant? Still sounds high, though typical for a dealer.

Play nice.

There seems to be a glitch here on the board. His post does show up on the list as being a new thread, but somehow when you click on that topic it takes you to another thread where his post is tacked on for some strange reason.

Yep, there is a glitch. I clicked on a thread down below, the one entited something like "TB changed at 65k"
As I said, I clicked on that thread title, and got 3 or 4 thread starters. Dunno where the replies are. I wondere where this reply will end up for that matter.
