When is the best time to replace your timing belt on your Ford Ranger or Ford 2.3L engine? Well the first answer is before it breaks. That said, 60,000 miles or 6 years is recommended by Ford and Gates belts 1997 or earlier 2.3 engines. If your belt is subject to an oil leak, you should downgrade those values as oil deteriorated belts.

how to change the timing belt HERE. If you just got your truck or have never checked its condition, remove the inspection plug and take a look. If you see cracks, damaged or missing teeth and/or severe oil contamination schedule the job.
