Only the 4 cylinder has a timing belt. On a 1983-97 replace it at 60,000 miles=On a 1998 up, replace at 120,000 miles.=
2.3 L engine in a 1998 Ranger???? The 2.5 L cam belt should be changed at 120,000 miles.
Do you really need to change your timing CHAIN on a 2003 Ford Ranger 3.0 L already ? How many miles have you got on it ?=)
at how many miles is it before you change your timing belt
Only the 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder has a timing belt. Replace it at 120,000 miles. The V6 has a timing chain.
I usually reccommend about every 90,000 miles.
The 2008 Ford Ranger , 2.3 liter Dual Over Head Cam , four cylinder engine has a timing CHAIN
the miles are 81000 of Honda odeysse 2004, When should change of timing belt?
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 )
OEM recommends every 75k miles. I have 170k on mine and have not had a problem.
it should be changed after 60000 miles
It is not necessary to change the timing chain. It should last way over 100,000 miles. Timing belt should be change at least at 90,000 miles or earlier as listed in your owner's manual.
60,000 miles
