Hello, I'm due for the dreaded timing belt replacement only because of time. (1999 13k miles) So after all the discussions/posts about timing belt replacements, what manufacture....brand....source is everyone going with? There's been lots of great advice and opinions, but I'm still not real clear on where I should purchase a timing belt kit...oem .....local parts store...Amazon. Where's everyone buying theirs? Any "purchase" advice would be great. Thanks |

JMO.....I would get the kit from the dealer, a bit more money , but they seem to hold up longer. There are tons of suppliers to pick from, But I have had good luck with dealer items for timing belt or water pumps. Regular belts or gaskets & hoses that can be changed out in a short time, I use a top brand from a auto parts shop. But anything that requires hours to replace and are internal, I stick with the dealer...JMO..... |

Caution on Gates Timing Belt Kits. This was on a Subaru, but maybe common on other Gates Kits. Buyer Beware. http://youtu.be/7qYmNXOhn_o?t=180 |

Car dealers don't always use OEM parts because I have seen the local parts stress deliver parts to them. This message has been edited by padroo on 03-11-2017 at 08:59 AM |

Dealers are SUPPOSED to inform customers when they do not use OEM parts, but I agree with Padroo, they will use aftermarket parts on the sly. I've had it happen to me and had cheap aftermarket parts fail! Reputable dealers should inform you. Red Flag if they don't. |

With all due respect regarding the ball joints. It's not the quality of the BJ's that's causing the failures. |

when I had my Prowler, I just changed the timing belt every time I changed engines! :D Had the original then a new one for the 3.8 stroker motor, then another with the 4.0 Stroker, and agoan for the final time with the 4.3 Stroker....put 57K miles on that last one.  |
