I've got over 242,000 kilometres on my 2017 Chevrolet Express van that has the 2.8 diesel. Just chirped at me yesterday to change the timing belt - which I will have done Wednesday April 1, 2020. So far this has been an awesome motor that has survived severe highway service duty in northern Canada! Just fuel, oil changes & fuel filters so far!

Belt doesn't lose tolerance over time like a chain. As long as it's replaced every now and then there's nothing to worry about IMO.

The Liberty 2.8L diesel was not a flop. Your government got involved. The 2.8L was offered for 2005 and 2006. But the EPA emissions thing that required DPF and more EGR kicked in for 2007. So, Jee

Tons and tons of engines use belts. Personally I'd prefer chains but I wouldn't let a belt scare me away from the diesel if that was what I wanted. Plenty reliable, just don't ignore the change interv
