CRD 2.8 timing belt

Wondering if anybody has replaced the timing belt on a 2.8 in a liberty? Looking for a general idea of difficulty, what else should be replaced while in there, and a good place to get the parts.

do the water pump at the same time, and tensioner pulley. got 82 thousand miles on mine so far, not looking forward to it at all. but it is not an option to go past 100 thou without doing it, just not worth the risk. Lost Jeeps forum has a pretty knowledgeable group of guys with pointers.

I am planning to do mine in a week, Im going to replace everything under cover, my cost for parts about $700.00

anyone else running a gde tune?

 

[roadrunner470]

Yes, mine has a gde tune but just the economy tune tho.

eco tune is pretty nice, I just didn't want to go blowing money at a euro torque converter to go for more, just didn't seem worth it.
