Belts And Hoses

Both the belts and hosesin your Mopar vehicle perform very important jobs. Two major belts in your vehicle include the serpentine belt and the timing belt. The job of the serpentine belt is to bring power to everything in your engine. It snakes around the various pulleys and it powers the crankshaft and alternator. The timing belt has the important task of regulating the different valves in your engine so that they open and close at the right times. Your vehicle is also equipped with various hoses. These include the upper and lower radiator hoses and the water heater hoses. The job of the hoses is to carry the many types of fluids throughout your vehicle. These fluids include your fuel, coolant and transmission fluid. Your engine is a source of heat and although your belts and hoses are made to withstand that heat over time they can crack, leak and break. It is very important that you check these belts and hoses for wear and tear. It is always best to be proactive when it comes to preventing engine problems. Replacing belts or hoses is a less costly fix than major engine repair. When replacing your belts and hoses you should purchase genuine OEM quality parts. These are belts and hoses made for your vehicle by your manufacturer. Shop our webstore for replacement belts and hoses for your Mopar vehicle.
