I did two timing belts yesterday. One on a Chrysler Pacifica with a 3.5 and the other on a Dodge Intrepid with it's younger brother 3.2. Customer A has a Pacifica that had 125,xxx miles and the owner was going on vacation 1,000 miles away in two weeks. He bought the timing kit per recommendation and the water pump was included. His water pump was seeping, his tensioner was leaking and his tensioner pulley had slop in the bearing. He did it at his convenience. Customer B with the Intrepid called me to ask if I would look at his son's car that died at a stop light (I've heard this before). I took a scan tool with me just in case, and it had a code for "No cam signal at PCM". Not good because they both are interference engines after 2-3 teeth are skipped. His timing belt was melted to the seized waterpump pulley and his tensioner pulley disintegrated. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner, waterpump and tensioner pulley. I had a gut feeling on this one, so before I put the front of the engine together I cranked it over and confirmed no compression with a gauge. The car is 98 with 190,xxx miles and both heads have to come off to inspect for damage. The car is totaled due to the cost of the repair unless I do it. The owner of the Intrepid is a family friend. When was the last time you changed your timing belt? Is your engine an interference engine?

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
