Product Details

Gates designs timing component kits for broad vehicle coverage so technicians can source the belt and tensioner together for a more complete service. As an OEM supplier to vehicle manufacturers worldwide, Gates positions this kit as OE-equivalent or better in service life, quality, and performance. The TCK153 is a practical choice for timing belt replacement on Chrysler LeBaron, Chrysler Shadow, Dodge Caravan, and Dodge Dakota applications, along with other covered Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models.

This part cross-references Cloyes BK153 and Continental TB153K1 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt service intervals
• Noisy or weak timing belt tensioner operation
• Timing system maintenance on high-mileage engines
• Restoring proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Reducing repeat repairs from replacing only one timing component

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation.
• Replace the belt and tensioner together when servicing the timing system.
• Follow the included instructions and the vehicle service manual for timing alignment procedures.
• Because timing marks are not included, use the correct factory timing references during setup.
