Hmm... thats high. I just asked at Century Isuzu in Huntsville AL. for my Trooper timing belt, and got a quote for $350.00. I decided for that much I wouldnt do it myself. At least the VX has 20,000 miles before timing belt is done! I also worry about front bearing repack. So far Im thinking of driving till she gives out on both trucks. I figure at least 100,000 miles before it does, and the parts cost what 3 repacks cost. Why go in 3 times when I can go once for the same dinero?
Isuzu Handbook ( Given these are conservative numbers)
Timing belt change is recommended at 100K
Wheel Bearing Repack at 30K.
I would do the Timing belt at 100K even though breakage should not cause engine damage. Reasoning is both Water pump & Tension pulley are close to failure & might as well do all at once.
Wheel bearings I do at 50K
