Re: Help! Broken Timing Belt
Word of advice - When they change the timming belt they will probably want you to change the oil pump at the same time (which is not a bad idea because you will be in there anyway) the pully on the front of the oil pump is a PRESS ON pully - it requires a special tool from Mopar to install it properly. I had a mechanic do my belt and then 25,000 miles later that pully wore a hole in the front of my oil pump!!!!! Just a heads up - if they tell you different fine someone else to fix you car!!!!

Re: Help! Broken Timing Belt
Thanks to all who helped me with advice regarding belt replacement. Turned out, no bent valves. Just replaced the belt, pump, and car runs fine.

Re: Help! Broken Timing Belt
What did the final cost come to? I have about 87k in my 2001 so I am thinking about getting it done soon...

Re: Help! Broken Timing Belt
Guy in San Diego did it for $350. Whatever you do, don't wait until it breaks.
