What needs to be done at the 60k Service?-
One of the most important maintenance steps that 3000GT/Stealth owners should take is to make sure that the 60k is done ON TIME. It is important, and the reason being that by neglecting to do the 60k service on your car, you are greatly increasing your chances of having some very unfortunate mechanical errors happen to your car that you'd probably rather not deal with. Here are the parts you will need to perform this service:
  • Timing Belt (MD193874)
  • Tensioner (MD319040)
  • Water Pump (MD972005)
  • Thermostat (MD174234)
  • Power Steering Belt (MD172376)
  • Accessory A/C Belt (No AC: MD187463 / With AC: MB879764)
  • Fuel Filter (MB658136)
  • Throttle Body Gasket (MD180361)
  • Intake Plenum Gasket (MD143791)
  • Spark Plug Wires (MD193980)

The job is a rather lengthy one, and whether you do it yourself or if you have a shop do it - you can expect it to take up most of the day to complete.

This is a required service for these cars, and the consequences of not doing it could result in a broken timing belt - which, 9 times out of 10, will completely destroy your engine.

Prices for this service can range from $350.00 to $1000.00, depending on where you take it. If you plan on doing it yourself, here is a guide to assist you:
