Ford's scheduled maintenance guide for the 1997 Ford Ranger states to INSPECT the timing belt ( 2.3 L only ) at 120,000 miles. Wvafan , another contributor to this website and also a Ford mechanic/technician likes to change the timing belt at 90,000 miles I believe . ( Gates and Dayco websites - they manufacture timing belts - recommend every 60,000 miles )
