So I’m not needing to do this job yet and continue to change oil at 5k. What is people’s opinion as to what else should be changed in the name of maintenance when doing the chains? I’m at 84k. TIA

I've seen a recommendation that all the injectors are done & even high pressure fuel pumps. If it were me, it'd be injectors unless the pumps were showing signs of wear/ weakness.

Pumps were changed out when a wrencher stripped a thread and pump blew off the week I bought it. Expensive repair with engine out, new pumps and sump!

Ooops hope they paid for that

Are you starting to hear the chains?

No they didn’t, $10k bill. No chains seem ok but know will need done at some point. Like to get my ducks in a row, so just pre-empting things. Transmission oil change and new rotors next on list.

At least these cars are worth it, well sometimes

Deebee, just changed the tensioners and tensioner chain guides on my 2012 HSE 5.0 NA. My chain guides showed the typical worn chain guide pattern. I did the LR approved zip tie short cut. I did change the water pump and all associated parts and new belts and numerous coolant hoses. Don’t go to Buckhead for parts, they were literally twice the list price on a few fill in parts I didn’t want to wait for.

My engine was getting 5k oil changes since I’ve own, got it with 70k and now have 96k. My engine wasn’t real noisy, but would occasionally have the classic sewing machine sound. It’s quieter but still has some noise. I think it’s the nature of the engine. I now don’t worry about it skipping time and destroying the engine.

Bring it to Newnan and we’ll get after it.
