Timimg belt
 

How do you know when it needs to be changed? Just rolled over 100k.

Well, none of the motors in a 2003 ranger have timing belts, they all run off of chains.

How about the 2002 3.0 V6?

Re: Timimg belt
 

Your 3.0 V6 has a timing chain.

Good to know, thanks. Do timing chains require any maintenance like timing belts?

Re: Timimg belt
 

Nope. Only when the motor gets rebuilt.

I have 200,000 on my 2001 3.0 6-cyl Ranger and am curious when I should replace the timing belt

Re: Timimg belt
 

You don't, because you don't have a timing belt, you have a timing chain.

Re: Timimg belt
 

I have a 2001, but manufactured in 2000, when should I replace the timing belt?

LOL Just kidding! (i knew day one I had a timing chain)
