Complete Timing Belt Kit for Colorado/Canyon 2.8L Duramax (LWN)

This is our complete Timing Belt Kit for the 2.8L Duramax (LWN) engine used in the 2016-2022 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax 2.8L diesel and 2016-2022 GMC Canyon Duramax 2.8L diesel. This complete kit includes all the items that should be replaced when doing the timing belt job. We have put together the absolute best quality components available in this kit. This is the best quality kit available anywhere.

GM specifies a 150,000 mile timing belt change interval. However, we recommend planning for this service at 100,000 miles. The 2.8L diesel is an “interference” engine, so a broken belt will cause the valves and pistons to collide (or interfere). As a result, damage involving bent valves and, in some cases, a broken piston can lead to daunting repairs. Better to be safe than sorry, and replace the belt on the early side.

Kit Includes:

We include the highest quality components available from OE Suppliers:

• Gates Water Pump
• Gates Timing Belt Tensioner
• Gates Serpentine Drive Belt
• Gates Timing Belt
• OE GM Harmonic Balancer Seal
• OE GM Camshaft Core Plug [single use]

Optional Parts:

We also recommend these optional items while performing this service. It’s convenient and affordable to replace the serpentine belt tensioner at the same time. A new timing belt cover with seal is available as an add-on because the seal itself is not available separately. The seal can usually be safely re-used, but if yours in damaged or worn-out then it should be replaced.
