Serpentine Belts and Hoses
I still have the original belt and hoses on my 2004 truck with 120000 miles. Would you change them or say if it ain't broke don't fix it?

Does anyone's owners manual call for hose and/or belt changes at a specific mileage?
On my '05 Ram, the maintenance routine in the manual only calls for inspection of belt and hoses at I forget what time/mileage interval. So they would seem to be a replace as needed item. The belt's appearance can give clues that it's time to replace it, the coolant hoses can look fine on the outside and be ready to fail.
