That belt really should be replaced every 60,000 miles at the most. Disaster strikes if it breaks, usually.

I took it to a reputable garage a bit closer to home who had an opening. I don't have my notes in front of me, but I think you've hit the nail on the head DEI37. Something about the plastic gasket being eaten away....
You're right. I've had a timing belt go out on my explorer ages ago...wasn't fun. I'll call him tomorrow morning about it; have him take a look see.. At this point, might as well, eh?
Thanks guys for the advice.
