[QUOTE="Huachipato, post: 14733798, member: 22395"] I download the Maintenance schedule and then did a word search for belt. Link to the latest print: [url]http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/04nmgmg5e.pdf[/url] The first mention of Belt (accessory drive belt(s)) inspection is at 100K (page 38 - Normal Schedule Minivan Cars). It's not listed in the Multi-Point inspection - though I think it prudent to look over the belts every time anyways. For contrast - the cooling system is to be inspected at 15K. My question still is that if the belt looks healthy and performs well - do you really need to replace it? Are there regular cases of belts looking and performing healthy and then just snapping for no reason or warning? And just an aside - I am one of the rare owners that is actually still operating with the stock tune and boost. I have a feeling that based on the mods listed by the OP - he is probably stock tune/boost as well. [/QUOTE]
