I did a search on the “Ford Truck Enthusiasts” forum.

Doesn’t seem to be much info.

The 3.5 uses a timing chain which lasts MUCH longer than a timing belt.

 

Are you having problems or just trying to do some preventative maintenance?

 

I'm sure a dealer would charge SEVERAL $,$$$.00.

Not belt driven. There are no belts inside the engine that need to be changed - only the accessory serpentine belt needs replacing periodically. Timing is either a chain or direct gears.

I don't know why i thought it was belt driven?I meant serpentine belt sorry for the confusion,thanks

I took the liberty of editing your post to read.

 

“Has any one attempted to change serpentine belt, I have 08 edge and would like to see pictures to procedures taken to accomplish this .Also would like to know what a dealer would charge for this.”

 

I just read the “scheduled maintenance guide” for our 08 MKX.

 

I couldn’t find anything about the “drive belt” (serpentine belt) until 90,000 miles.

It says to “Inspect drive belts.”

Then inspect again at 120,000.

At 150,000 miles it says “Replace drive belt(s) if not replaced in the last 100,000 miles”

I looked under the hood…ouch!

Looks like you change it from underneath.

 

Hope this helps
