I really would consider doing it yourself, that way you know its right. Don;t be fooled thinking garages and dealers would do it properly. Many garages won't have a locking/timing kits and will just throw it one (GM v6 is rare in that the cams have adjustable timing), and its fairly common for dealers to put it on a tooth out...

Its the tensioners that fail, not belt, so these should be done. Also, I would do waterpump at same time.

Honestly, its one of the simpler jobs Wink

Don't believe me? Get the Cambelt DVD from Robin Hood and see for yourself Thumbs Up!

Let's face it; if I can do it with some help; anyone can
