Just for the record does my 2001 LHS 3.5 have a timing chain or timing belt or
what? It will be a few years until I have to think of it.

Belt. Interference type engine.

Are you certain. I know they made some major changes, but my 97 Intrepid
with 3.5 is a belt, but non-interference, as I learned when the belt
prematurely snapped(about 60k Kms).

The 3.5L was switched to interference in 1999. Gates belt T295

Thanks for the nice reply and reference.

I believe that when they started boosting the HP that the 3.5L made,
the engine changes caused it to be an interference.
 
your 3.5 has a timing belt and that the belt tensoners issues were solved in 97
solved i'm seeing them go 120 k
