Anyone know the interval for changing the timing belt?
Getting close to 60K miles and thought about changing it out.
The owners manual only shows the interval for the 4 cylinders and not the V6.
On the net, I've seen anywhere from 60K to 100K to not changing it at all!
Gates has the complete kit with the tensioners, and I also thought about changing the water pump too since I was in there.
Anyone else have any suggestions, anything else I need to look at on a 60K mile checkup?
Thanks, Mike
I don''t have a recommendation one way or t'other, but the Gates on-line timing belt guide shows the change interval on that engine as 60k, and indicates it as an interference engine - so just be aware of the consequences of a wrong decision to wait.

100K according to Chrysler, according to my local garage.
