The wife and I just purchased our first MDX (2006 Touring w/Navi) and we love it. It is a lot less clunky than the 04 Mountaineer we had. We bought the vehicle from Autosdirectonline (TERRIBLE dealer) and other than some cosmetic flaws, it was very well maintained. It just hit the 90K mark and we are saving up for the timing belt maintenance. I was wondering for the 105K timing belt replacement, in addition to the water pump, timing belt, tensioners, thermostat ect, would it be advantageous to replace the drive belt tensioner pulley, tune up w/ spark plugs (we have noticed 20.1 combined so I dont think it needs a tune up), upper and lower coolant hoses, and motor mounts? My only issues I have had is I had to replace the alternator (bad design if you ask me putting it so close to the fans) and it "clunks" sometimes over bumps, bushings dont seem to be cracked. Thanks guys/gals and have a good night.
