The belts twist because the accessory pulleys are out of alignment.
no, the 5.9l and the 6.7l cummins turbo diesel engines uses a series of timing gears not a chain or belt. reasoning for this is the power impulse and torque created would stretch the chains or belts over time. The gears last much longer. All truck hd truck engines use timing gears.

The main reason is that the way Diesel and Gasoline engines works is complete different, the gasoline needs a spark to explode and generate movement. The diesel explodes with pressure, the pressure of the fuel on the cylinder is what makes the explosion, so in a diesel engine you don't need an electric system to generate a spark. The compression in a diesel engine is a lot higher that a gasoline engine. All diesel engines have diesel injectors, gasoline engine works with injectors and carburators. Because of all this differences and more the maintanence is different, oil change periods, air filters, fuel system, electric system, belts, valves.........
Ususally push rod style engines do not use timing belts. Even some modern OHC engines do not use timing belts but instead use a timing chain. An example is the 2003 & up Honda 4 cylinder.
For the designer label-lover, Diesel belts can be purchased new from a large number of online retailers as well as used from auction websites. Diesel belts can also be purchased in a wide array of high street and out-of-town fashion stockists.
According to Gates ( they manufacture timing belts etc. ) Both the 1.8 L - 4 cylinder and the 2.8 L - V6 engines have timing belts and are interference engines
