As for Timing belt change, because of the potential damage, i try to follow the book on that. However, i have seen SEVERAL of those engines with over 100K and no belt change. 67 Dart GT Vert 273/904 72 Town & Country 440/727 90 D350 reg cab dually cummins 15 Scat Pack Challenger

Guess I'd better get this on the schedule pretty soon, sure don't want it to let go on me and cause extra damage/expenses just because I got cheap or lazy. Mike
