Original Mopar Belts And Hoses

When you open your hood, you'll spot all sorts of belts and hoses. They help to move, lubricate, or cool the many parts and systems.

Kinds of Belts

Your timing belt is the notched belt that assists the crankshaft with rotating the engine's camshaft. It keeps the two shafts working in sync, while also precenting parts from crashing into each other. If you drive a newer model, it may be equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt.

Serpentine and drive belts move everything from the alternator to power steering parts, your water pump, and more.

What Hoses Do

Hoses direct fluid to and from such parts as your radiator, engine, fuel tank, and more.

When to Replace Your Belts and Hoses

Your owner's manual will detail your recommended maintenance schedule, You want to make a habit of inspecting your belts and hoses, though. If your serpentine or drive belts fail, you may have a small window of time to address the problem. If your timing belt breaks, that's a different story as your engine will stop running almost immediately. A timing chain, however, should last the engine's lifetime. Hoses should be replaced every four years at a minimum.

When you’re inspecting your belts and hoses, there are a few steps you can take. First, test the tension of your belts. If they're either too loose or too tight, they're not going to work as they should. If you spot and cracks or fraying in the belts, replace them ASAP.
