Belts and hoses

Belts and hoses in your Chevy vehicle have very important jobs. Let's start with the belts on your vehicle. You basically have two, the serpentine belt (also known as drive belt) and the timing belt (or timing chain). The serpentine belt brings the power to everything in your engine curling snakelike around different pulleys. It powers the crankshaft and alternator. The timing belt helps regulate the engines valves so they open and close at the right time. The hoses in your Chevy include upper and lower radiator hoses and water heater hoses. The hoses carry the many types of fluids throughout your vehicle such as fuel, coolant and transmission fluid. It is important to check both your belts and hoses for wear and tear. They serve important jobs in maintaining a well running engine. Preventive maintenance is much better than fixing a major problem later.
