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

I never have had a fan belt failure that I can remember. But I do make inspection of the belts every so often. Once the rubber starts to show signs of cracking or flaking off, I would definitely change it. But belts now days are made a lot better then years ago. I have Cadillac Deville that has 69K miles on it now and the belt still looks in good shape. My coach has 59K and the belts still look very good.
But if the belt went out on rgatijnet1 at 10K, there has to be another problem, not the belt. It sounds to me like pulley alignment might have been off, or the idler pulley bearing going out. Ten thousand miles is nothing for a belt to go out.
