Tune up recommendation pls

amy

Ok so i just got a 05 srt with 75xxx
and i want to do a tune up Ive been reading up best oil would be mobile 1       5 w30 because of summer heat hone here in miami, kamp;n oil filter and air filter,
I have msd spark wiring, i was told to use NGK 4306 plugs, but not sure to use that ans at what gap? And finally should I do a  transmission flush?

nice hope u enjoy it
go mobil 1 fully sinthetic 10w-30 for higher temps
clean the kamp;n filter
get new ngk 4306's gap at .035-.040
and u can never go wrong with a trans fluid change
and new wires if needed

TBH at 75k I'd to the following:
Timing belt
Water pump
Timing belt idler/tensioner pulley
Spark plugs
Filter
Trans fluid change (no need for a flush)

this too...but i thot the timing belt n stuff wasnt supposed to be until 90000????

Some say 60k, some say 75k, some say 90k, some say 100k.  You could inspect it for wear and cracks and decide from there, but at 75k I would personally have that side of the motor swapped out with new OEM parts.

hmm not saying ur wrong or conterdicting u but ive been told the first 90k and then every 40-50k after that...is this fine intervals i just wanna make sure itll be good but i understand under certain conditions it can wear out it faster such as weathercracking,wear etc...

I guess it depends on who you talk to and what you're comfortable with.  I mean quot;wrongquot; is subjective with maintenance, as it's totally dependent on what you feel is necessary during a higher-mileage tuneup.  I personally would do the timing belt and timing accessories at 60k-75k but that's me.

First section is new buyer maintaince: SRT-4 Performance Modifications and Upgrade Paths

Why would you replace the timing belt at 90k, but then only go 40-50k on the new one?

from what ive heard...i am not stating this i am saying from test that have been done : very quot;fewquot; timing belts are as good as or hold up as well as an oem one thats why its shorter intervals....its whats been said

not said by me but by technicians

I've never heard that. If you replace it with an OEM belt, it should be just as good.

yes i agree but wen ur buying a timing belt or any other component you are paying for what u get and well this goes for about every part on a car too

What?  You have the Gates timing belt and the OEM Mopar timing belt; both are excellent in quality, though I've always used Mopar OEM timing belts.  Just personal preference, 60k miles for a timing belt change makes me feel satisfied.  Though they're non-interference motors pistons-to-valves, they are interference valve-to-valve.  It's just something I would personally do and what I've been recommended by many prestigious people around these forums
What you do is your prerogative.  North's link is informative, too.

i agree my perogitive is mine but i mean as in brands of timing belts such as duralast timing belts gates timing belts etc...
