Does anyone know when do i have to change out the belt for and 04 s2k? At what mileages? I lost my manual so anyone with an 04 s2k that still have the manual can tell me please.


And can i change out the belt myself and how? has anyone done it on our s2k before? please help.

 

Our engine using timing chain not belt.

 

isnt that the serpentine belt right in front of our motor? i meant that belt.

 

Thats just a drive belt. Change it when its gets glazed or starts to get small cracks.

 

super easy to change.. now i had my airbox out when i changed mine so it literally took about 20 seconds to change it out.. i put a bar on a socket wrench to use as my "special tool" that the fsm says you need..



then you just put that bad boy on the auto-tensioner and pull towards the passenger-side of the vehicle and the belt slips right off



here is the part number for the belt from advance auto.. $20 compared to the like $80 from the dealership

 

To answer the OP's question, the book says to inspect every 30,000 mi or 2 yrs, whichever comes first. It never says specifically when to replace it. I would go with 04ssonbl's answer. Check it periodically, and it it looks cracked or glazed, replace it.

 

Change it at the recommended interval. I forget what it is though. Belts can just let go with no warning, so it's a good idea to change them as specified. I got a cheap $15 dollar belt.
