Product Details

Gates T245RB is a high performance engine timing belt engineered for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications, including Dodge Neon, Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Neon, Chrysler Stratus, Plymouth Neon, and Plymouth Breeze models. The belt’s HSN construction is formulated to resist heat and wear, while the fiberglass cord helps maintain tension and tooth accuracy under demanding operating conditions. This part cross-references Dayco 95245 for the same application.

What This Timing Belt Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt material
• Noise or irregular operation from an aging belt
• Loss of camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Service replacement on interference-engine applications
• Heat-related belt deterioration in performance use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system requirements before installation, especially on interference-engine vehicles. Because this belt has no timing marks, use the correct timing procedure and alignment tools for the engine being serviced. Inspect related components such as tensioners, idlers, and seals during timing service to help ensure proper belt tracking and long-term performance. Confirm fitment for the exact year, make, and model before ordering.
