2009 3.5L needs a water pump

160K miles and leaking coolant externally through the weep hole.  NO coolant in oil yet so no longer using it.

 

Is it OK to go through the effort to change the pump and not replace the timing chains/guides, etc.?   My sister doesn't use the car all that much and it otherwise has had normal maintenance.

 

Also, what would this cost to have done by a professional - I think this job is above my pay grade..

My opinion, as someone in the business, is that the right thing to do is change everything that you have to disrupt while you are there for the pump. Particularly at that kind of mileage. 

 

I can't say on an estimate.
