Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T142
Keep your engine's valve timing in sync with the Gates Engine Timing Belt (P/N T091). It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1985-1987 Ford Ranger, 1983-1985 Dodge Power Ram 50 and 1983-1985 Dodge Ram 50; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It ties the crankshaft to the camshaft so the intake and exhaust valves open and close in time with the pistons.
Gates builds OE timing belts for automakers worldwide, and this aftermarket belt is designed so it meets or exceeds OE standards of fit, function and performance. If a worn, cracked, or tooth-shed belt is causing your timing trouble, this replaces it. The Gates warranty matches the original manufacturer's timing belt replacement intervals — covering not just parts, but labor and other associated costs. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details on your specific vehicle.
