Hi - I have a 1997 Ford Ranger 2.3 Liter Engine with a 5 Speed Automatic
transmission. I bought this truck *used* about 2 years ago when it had
97,000 miles on it.
Right now is has a bit over 140,000.
Question 1 - Does this engine have a timing belt or timing chain?
I have no idea if the timing chain/belt has ever been replaced.
Question 2 - If it has a timing belt, should I take it in now to have it
replaced?
BTW - this truck runs great.
Thanks
Joe |

Timing belt. The 2.3 is not an interference motor, so if it does break, you
won't trash the motor. However, with that kind of mileage and no knowledge
of the timing belt's history, I would say at 140k you should change it ASAP
to avoid the inconvenience of being stranded.
