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.

I replaced the serpentine belt on our coach at about the 6 year mark. Did it on recommendation of a mech at the dealer as he said it was developing fine cracks. Did the compressor belt at same time. I now carry it as a spare and I cannot see any fine cracks in it. Had a trusted mech at place where I get coach serviced nowadays check the radiator hoses. He said they were getting a little hard on our 2007 motor home and that could probably go some longer. We were starting a 5000 mile trip and a friend just had a hose replaced on his same year motor home after being towed to a repair shop. I had him replace all the radiator hoses.
