Don't know. The parts department up here are not much good. When I had my Jeep and tried to order parts it was a nightmare.
Could someone please tell me the correct Gates or Contitech Timing Belt Kit Parts Number, I need for my 2.6?  If possible one where it is a straight swap, without having to sort out backplates, etc.  All the ones I keep finding need some alterations doing to them.

Thank you in advance for all help.

It's straight forward swapping over pulleys on to your original backplate if you need to. Obvious when you see then in the flesh.

Thanks for the reply.  So any of the two that I put links to would work, just do the backplate swap.

I would be interested to know. I am going to be changing the cambelt on my 2.6 shortly.
I will need the GM kit 93172354 or gates kit K035453XS.
I currently have a gates kit installed so not sure if i can get away with swapping the pulleys and tensioners with the current backing plate.
From what i have read the belts are all the same (as in number of teeth) so any V6 kit should be fine.
The part i am not sure is i think my current kit has a static pulley on the lower mount but the older kits come with another tensioner to adjust the 3-4 cams.
Not sure if that would be an issue or not?

No its not an issue as i said to mr addy its just a little easier with the fixed lower pulley as you only need to adjust the upper of for alignment rather than the lower one as well. The kits seem cheaper too.and like you say the belts are ok although i seem to recall some belts only having lining up marks for one type but again thats not realy an issue as you would be using a locking kit/cam position guage anyway.

Sound good to me. I am on the hunt for a older kit then.
Swap the pulleys and tensioners with the current backing plate and we should be good to go.
Thanks for your help.  :y

I found this on the Gates Site. Which of these Kits are the best one? Swapping the pulleys if it makes life easier.

Looks like its the 3rd belt kit option if you are wanting the correct fit kit .

If you want a straight swap with the same backing plate then the kit K035453XS would be the one if your engine number is 08578512 or over. Should be a sticker on the cam covers.
That's the most expensive option from what i can tell.
I am looking at getting an older kit K015453XS or K025453XS then swapping the pulleys over with my current newer backing plate.
This should be around half the cost if the parts are interchangeable?
Thanks

As discussed before, any V6 cam belt kit will fit any GM V6. I have fitted many different makes over the years, never had one fail. My current spare kit on the shelf is an INA kit that I paid £30 for 2 years ago. The cheapest I can find on e-bay today is a Unipart kit for £62.80. The vendor admits he bought some bankrupt stock and is selling it on.

I thought that it was the tensioner pulley that failed  rather than the belt. If you are doing a cam belt change don't cut corners it could cost you a lot of money let alone the grief when the car breaks down.
