Cruiser Timing Belt

If it is the 2.4L, the recommend change is 101,000 miles. At least that is what is specified for my Dodge Stratus. I will probably change it before that, along with the water pump.

As I recall, the 2.4L, is not an engine that you would want to have the belt break on. You may be able to obtain more info from allpar.com, in the *engines* section.

The 2.4L in the 1st gen stratus was a non-interference design - no damage if the belt broke, but you won't go anywhere. I had the belt and water pump replaced at 95K mi.

Richard, Chrysler recommends the timing belt be replaced at 120k schedule "A" and "B" maintenance and the 2.4 engine is a free wheeling engine, The pistons will not hit the valves if the belt breaks.
