Gates 89-94 Dodge Shadow 4-Cyl. 2.5L Cam. Belt Automotive Timing Belt

This is a Gates timing belt, part number T153, designed for a range of vehicles including the 1989-1994 Dodge Shadow, 1989-1995 Dodge Caravan, and 1989-1995 Plymouth Voyager. The timing belt is a critical component that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s), ensuring the engine's valves open and close at the correct times relative to the piston movement. If this belt breaks or slips, it can cause significant engine damage, often leading to costly repairs.

Gates is a well-known name in belts and hoses, and this timing belt is built to meet or exceed OEM specifications for durability and performance. It's made from high-strength materials designed to withstand the heat and stress of engine operation. Proper installation is key to its function; it's a direct replacement for the original belt, meaning it fits right into the factory location without modification. Replacing your timing belt at the recommended intervals, typically around 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle, is essential preventative maintenance.
