Hi everybody,
I've searched and read stickies, but still haven't found an answer to my basic dumb question:
I've got a 2002 sentra gxe, with about 62,000 (lots of commuter miles), and I'm wondering just how important it is to get the timing belt replaced now. Before my dad died last year, he told me to do it at 60,000, but I'm wondering if I might be ok until 70,000 or so? Is there any indication before they go? Will it destroy the engine if it fails on the freeway?!? Somebody just told me it would at school, and I was surprised. Then again, I'm a high school Spanish teacher...not a mechanic.
Thanks so much,
