serpentine belt and hose replacements
When do you replace serpintine belt and radiator hoses on diesel engines? Last year I replaced all heater hoses & tank radiator hoses. Autos are generally 5 years.

50 years ago, that was the norm. One of my "daily drivers" has 19 year old radiator hoses and 10+ year old serpentine belt (the old one is stored with the spare tire; looked good when removed).
I traded in my other car after 10 years with the original hoses and belts. Heck, I only changed the antifreeze once !
Admittedly, neither were diesels.
Carrying spares and clamps is not a bad idea, especially when you can buy the parts online for deep discounts.
