For anyone wondering, a distribution belt is the timing chair (or timing belt in this example). GM has a Duramax 3.0 diesel engine with a timing belt instead of a chain and it’s on the back. People were so angry GM put out a warranty for 5 year 100k miles.

I’ve seen tear downs on YouTube and the Duramax people are livid about a belt.

I think we're getting a little confused here. The Duramax 3.0 diesel has a timing chain, not a belt. The belt people usually bitch about is the oil pump belt.

I think the comment referred to wet timing belt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SASSFjIt5I
