Re: When do the cam belts require changing. Is the change...
They say 100,000 miles now, i still think that 50,000 how it was 10-15 years ago is still right, milage based, I think waiting 100,000 is to long not worth losing motor over belt

Me personally I would leave them , on high milage cars once u desturb them u might not get them to seal again as cam might be worn . Don't fix what's not broken
The ideal time is 75,000 miles. I see owner delay the change up to 120,000 miles. (not recommended)
Timing belt,water pump and tensioner should be change at the same time.
yes the silverado's have timing chains, just about all v6's and v8's have timing chains, and timing chains should not be serviced, unless you are having problems with a timing chain guide or timing chain tensioner
Usually a timing belt replacement is based on mileage not age. However, I would have the belt visually inspected to make sure it still is in good condition. If the belt breaks it can cause serious engine damage. The inspection should cost you very little as most newer cars has inspection plattes that come off with a few bolts, you could even do it yourself. I would think that you are fine, but better safe then sorry. My hyundai elantra went for 120,000 miles with the same timing belt and is still going today with its new owner.
Hello mike_potts07: My name is Roger and I will answer your question. The suggested miles to change your timing belt is 60,000 miles. This is manufacturers recommended service interval. Also this motor is an interference motor. What that means is if the timing belt breaks. The valves in the head will be hit by the pistons. This will bend all valves that are open at that time.
