Hello, looking at getting the parts for replacing the cambelt on my Colorado 3.4 v6
I am at 170000miles (owned it from 160000) and don’t know when the cam belt was done last. I know that the engine is non interference so even if the worst was to happen it shouldn’t be a major drama but kern to avoid minor drama too…
Main parts needed should be new belt, tensioner, idler pulley?
I suppose it would make sense to replace the water pump, thermostat and belts (Aircon, water and steering) too?
Anything else that should be looked at while getting in there?
I read about swapping the thermostat for a lowering temperature one, is this advisable?
Any suggestion on suppliers?
Milners seem to have the belt and tensioner and pulley but no water pump
Seems to be a relatively simple job any specific tips?
Thanks in advance!
Marco
