dealer service information as in actual gm factory literature only for employees? (are you the mechanic or have you confused with someone else?)The owners manual for my 2014 CTD says 10 years or 97000, the dealer service information shows 3 years or 97000.
If that's the case, looks like it's time to replace the timing belt. The water pump already appears to have a slow leak any way.
And, in the 2014 Owners manual PDF on chevrolet.com that I just now downloaded, it says "(7) Or every 10 years, whichever comes first."Under the Footnotes- Maintenance Schedule Additional Required Services- Normal it says (7) Or every three years, whichever comes first.
I think there is, but not sure how easy to remove. I would probably still be on my original timing belt if it hadn't started whining.Is there a removable top portion of the belt cover? Should be easy to inspect it there to see if it really needs to be replaced.
Your 145K is likely 60K of my driving lol. 3 Years and only 32,000 miles for me due to shorter trips and slower average speedsI went 145K on my timing belt. The only reason I changed it is because one of the pulleys was whining.

looks pretty easy. I'm a bit lazy I guess.Is there a removable top portion of the belt cover? Should be easy to inspect it there to see if it really needs to be replaced.
Isn't that just the gas water pump? I don't think the extended warranty applies to the diesels.Now that I think of it... the water pump is covered under warranty (or extended warranty) at most I would pay for the timing belt. I may as well repalce it if its going to be removed to replace the water pump.
I have a GMPP extended warranty that covers most things.Isn't that just the gas water pump? I don't think the extended warranty applies to the diesels.
The water pump should be covered under the 100k powertrain warranty, yes?Isn't that just the gas water pump? I don't think the extended warranty applies to the diesels.
