Over sustained thermal cycling, the factory belt develops micro-cracking and tooth shearing, while the OEM water pump bearing and mechanical shaft seal degrade, creating bearing play or shaft seizure that can instantly destroy the timing belt path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive service kit addresses internal valvetrain vulnerabilities with an upgraded 201-tooth timing belt constructed from reinforced, heat-resistant EPDM elastomeric compound to eliminate tooth stretch under acceleration. Paired with a heavy-duty mechanical water pump engineered with precision impellers and durable dynamic shaft seals, this kit maintains stable coolant flow without risk of cavitation. A high-load steel roller tensioner bearing ensures true belt tracking and isolates parasitic rotational harmonics across the entire RPM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Belt (201 teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Roller Tensioner Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump with Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2007-2009 Dodge Nitro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e4.0L SOHC V6 (EGQ) \/ KA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e260 hp \/ 265 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eTBK295L, TS26295A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2007-2009 Dodge Nitro R\/T 4.0L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2007-2009 Dodge Nitro SLT 4.0L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Chrysler 3.5L \/ 4.0L SOHC V6 timing-belt engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the KA Nitro?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2007-2009 Dodge Nitro equipped with the 4.0L \u003cstrong\u003eEGQ\u003c\/strong\u003e SOHC V6 engine. \u003cstrong\u003eThis kit does not fit 3.7L PowerTech V6 models, which utilize a timing chain assembly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy should the water pump be replaced during a timing belt service?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water pump on the 4.0L SOHC engine is driven behind the timing cover, making concurrent replacement necessary to avoid paying labor twice or risking catastrophic belt failure from a failing pump bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for rigorous light-truck duties and sustained towing, this timing and cooling package delivers long-term valvetrain stability and cooling integrity under severe load conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545257115896,"sku":"DS-E2LAIS5PL","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-dodge-nitro-2007-2009-4-0l-1.jpg?v=1790720647","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-water-pump-timing-belt-kit-for-dodge-nitro-2007-2009-4-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
