Belts and Hoses

No matter which GM vehicle you commute in, it has more than a few belts and hoses beneath the hood. It may even seem overwhelming, but the concept is simple. The belts run your vehicle's crankshaft and assist in the functionality of your steering as well as your heat and a/c. The hoses in your car, truck, or SUV, transport the liquids your engine and hydraulic components rely on to run smoothly. Both vital for every commute.

For example, the timing belt has sole purpose is to ensure the camshaft is in-time with the movement of the crankshaft. The serpentine belt is also vital because it maintains fluidity and movement between the alternator, power steering pump, a/c, and on some vehicle models, the water pump.

Hoses transfer liquids throughout your vehicle. For instance, a fuel hose transfer gasoline to the engine, and a radiator hose delivers coolant to the engine. The power steering hose connects to the steering pump and transfers pressurized hydraulic fluid which makes for easier controllability.

Wondering when to change your hoses or belts? It's best to check the owner's manual to determine effective mileage times to consider an exchange. But if you notice any leaks, check-engine lights, unusual vibration squeaking sounds, loss of pressure on your gauges, or an all-out failure when starting your car, seek replacement soon to avoid further engine complications.
