@zerog2k Here's a pic of the timing belt close up. Might as well be brand new to my eyes. It's still supple when unfolded as well.
And here's a few other closer views:
Water pump blades:
Tensioner:
What appears to be locktite red on the threads of the bolt.
@14v6 I think the truck might be running smoother?? But heck, it might be in my head because it feels smoother after an oil change. I'm not that in tune with how things feel, so I can't say if it feels any different really.
@jskicet Thanks for the insight on what the induction kit is all about. I thought the 4 bucks for brake cleaner would have fallen under shop supplies as well . 🤷♀️ At the end of the day, even though there was also no mention of the induction kit prior to work, I'm still satisfied because everything requested was done for the price that was quoted. The rest I suppose is "bonus" or "included" but not mentioned, which may or may not have been part of the largely more expensive quotes received from other shops.
@gti16vman To be honest, reputation of dealers and shops are poor enough that it was a fairly hard decision to make to bring the vehicle in for work. We do the vast majority on our own and handing keys to a stranger is challenging due to our OCD nature. We requested parts back and it was indeed impressive how neatly they were presented. I asked for them to "toss the parts in the bed" but the tech wrapped them up, packaged them, and put them into a box that was handed to me at pickup. This experience at this local dealer, which happens to be the one where we bought the truck, was far better than the experience at the dealer closer to home which we took the truck for the fuel injector warranty issue. Another nice touch at this dealership, was that while standing around, none of the service advisors were heavily pushing extra services to their customers in person or on their phonelines. The dealership we will never go back to, was pushing headlight fluid left and right... we should have seen that as a warning sign.
Now, I don't know how much it really mattered, but I did clean the truck before taking it in. Wash, wax, shined, engine bay dusted lightly and interior vacuumed. It was clean enough that the lot lady asked me if I had just bought the new truck. She had a very surprised look on her face when I said it was here for it's 105k mile service. She said it smelled new and that I must not allow anyone to eat in the car. LOL. If she only knew. For the record, lots of snacking and hobby farm life goes on inside. My cabin air filter tends to fill with dog hair and bird feathers and I've cleaned lamb milk replacer off the headliner. I'm just constantly dusting and cleaning to keep the zoo under control, to which I keep detailer, microfiber towels, and a duster in the doors for this very reason. Maybe the tech noticed this and took extra care for a vehicle who has an owner that clearly cares. The multi point inspection came out all green.
