when to replace fan belts
I have the Ford F53 Chassis with 30,000 miles. At what point should I think about getting the fan belt replaced? I can find no reference to it in the owner's manual. THX

Inspect for cracks if none continue on. If you are concerned change it and keep as spare. I change hoses and belts at 100k on my vehicles, I usually keep them a long time, and have had to reuse old hoses due to failure of newer hoses. I was on I -10 Crossing the Achafalya and had a hose failure and a belt failure soon there after within 3 days of each other in a van I had. Both were fairly new, used old ones to get out of a bind. Now that I am older and have an RV carrying spares is just safer or smarter these days.
