99 Stratus 2.5 V6 Timing Belt Change Interval

    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.
