    Not bad on either. It was easier on the 03, but was so long ago I don't remember how long it took. A few hours. Taking my time on the 2011, taking breaks, waiting on my buddy to come help line it up and bolt it on, around 7 hours. If you read the instructions a few times and had someone to help you, I'm sure you could do it in 2 or 3. I wasted a good hour to hour and a half dicking around with my winch, trying to decide how to clock it, which way to install it, etc.

    You just have to contact any dealership and give them your VIN. I forget the affected year, but it boils down to a batch of bad LBJs that spanned a certain production period~ 2001 and later. Mine was included. Call, yes it is affected, bring it in, they do it immediately, and you get a free alignment, too.

    650$ for timing belt & water pump OTD at my local dealership. Not too bad... right ?
