Hoses and gaskets
I wish it were as simple as a belt.
All my vacuum hoses were either cracking or starting to crack, or petrified; so were the PCV gaskets and the throttle body gasket. The Florida heat doesn't help with the longevity of rubber.
I'm renewing everything above the intake gaskets, including the injectors.
