Timing Belt Question
Hey Guys,
I have a 97 F250 HD with a 460. The engine only has 65k on it. I don't have the manual for it.
My questions are...
1) When should the timing belt be changed?
2) What can I expect to pay to have it changed?
3) What happens to the engine and what can I expect to pay to fix it if the timing belt breaks when I'm driving it?
Thanks

Its probably a timing CHAIN for one. I dont know this, but i am pretty certain. I wouldnt think a chain needs changing before 150,000 miles unless she is running poorly, like missing, or whatever that would indicate your timing is off because of a loose chain.
