Yes the interval is 80K, The dealer by me wanted $1800 to do the job. I looked around at about 6 different places and they wanted from $1500-2100 to do the Waterpump/Timing Belt and thermostat. I just decided to do it myself and save some money. The parts costs me $435 and the special tools costs me about $155, So I got a little over $600 into parts and tools, and saved me quite a chunk of change.

Timing belt on a V8 $$$$$$

I was wondering what would be a reasonable price for a timing belt? Is the recommended mileage 80K. My dealer is pricey so I'd like to know heading in what to expect.

My old dealership would do a V8 belt with water pump for about $1100-1200.
