OK

Waterpump (stock one usually go between 80K to 100K -- mine lasted to 140K
but I think I was lucky)
AC Compressor (my clutch started growling at 110K -- I think I was just
unlucky with this one)
Alternator (D.O.A. at about 105K -- while getting alt rebuilt I had my
mechanic rebuild my starter so I don't know how long starter lasts)
Belt/Hoses (replace them if you haven't)
Radio (believe it or not mine died at about 95K -- Jensen makes a great one
that fits in the 93 Dak's fascia)
Radiator (stock radiator had a plastic top which cracked at about 85K)

Also take into consideration that I was putting on 15K per year and you are
running about 30+K so some of these mileage estimates may be pushed back
because you are using them heavily but time has not had its chance to soften
them up.
