How many miles b4 the timing belt needs 2b replaced on a 1997 Chevy S10 Pickup ? Thank you?

Answer 1

Most cars/trucks from the 1990s have a timing belt change interval of 60,000 miles. Some cars after 2000 have an interval of 100,000 miles, which is very nice.

Don't run the risk of the belt breaking on the road. This stuff always happens at the most inconvenient times, and that's assuming you get no engine damage if the belt breaks. A broken belt can cause serious engine damage in many cars, including Hyundai, Honda and VW.

Answer 2

I checked with NAPAonline and they do not show that your truck uses a timing belt for either the 4 cylinder or V-6 engines that were available in your vehicle. That indicates that both Chevy engines use conventional timing chains to drive the camshafts.

NAPA does show part numbers for serpentine belts for the 2 engines, which are used to drive the engine accessories (power steering, alternator, A/C, etc.)

A serpentine belt typically does not have a mileage replacement recommendation. You replace it when it fails, or when the rubber belt shows too much wear (fraying, cracked edges, too stiff, or too soft, stretched beyond the capacity of the tensioner pulley, etc.) or if the interior reinforcing steel belts begins to show through.

A good mechanic can do a quick look and decide when to replace it.
