Chrysler Repair: Chrysler Pacifica timing belt, chrysler pacifica, private option


Question
I have been a mechanic for 10+ yrs, but recently changed jobs and no longer have the access to tools like I once did. I am going to attempt to change the timing belt on my 04 Pacifica later this week. Is this a job I can do with common hand tools, or do I need anything special? Thanks for any help.

Answer
Hi Steven,
The 3.5L engine has a belt, the 3.8L has a timing chain. There are no special tools but you do have to raise the front end to remove some close parts but no special tools are listed. The procedure is detailed however. I can copy the dozen or so pages off my CD and attach them to an email. I will need to know your email address to do that, which Allexperts of course knows but not I as the 'expert'. So send me a 'private' option follow-up and list that email address in the text.
