My car has 76000 miles on it approx.
When should I change the timing belt/chain on a 2002 Ford Mustang V6? ?
nice car! you dont need to change it yet. but ,as the other guy said, if it noisy you should check it. approx. 120.000 - 130.000 you should change it. bad news: they have to take the whole engine down and you have to pay a lot of labor. the belt costs about $100 but the labor .. $500 (even more) and also they have to replace the water pump.. more bad news : if it brakes you wont have car ever again.. so, good luck!

you will only need to replace it when it gets noisy or when it brakes... the engine will be fine if it brakes it just won't run... I wouldn't worry about it drive it till it brakes then have it replaced
replace it at 100k.
look at the maintenance schedule in your owners manual. and follow it to a tee. OK.
good luck
That engine has a timing chain. It does not need replacement as a maintenance item.
Don't worry about it, they last forever. Remember that's a push rod engine and not overhead cams..they came out on the '05
yes its a chain so is not a time to be changed unless it goes noisy.
