Does the motor in a 2010 Ford Ranger XL (PK) with diesel 3.0-litre have a timing chain or belt?
Answered by CarsGuide
15 Jan 2024Ford's popular PX Ranger (sold from 2011 until its replacement in 2022) marked a distinct move away from timing belt technology, but prior to that, the Mazda-sourced engine in your vehicle uses a rubber toothed timing belt. As such, this belt and its tensioners and idlers require replacement at regular intervals.
The recommended belt-change interval for this engine is 120,000km or six years, whichever comes first.
