- Complete procedure showing how to replace the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and pulley on a Chrysler 4.0L SOHC v6 engine. This procedure was performed on a 2010 Chrysler Town & Country minivan, but also applies to the Pacifica, Dodge Nitro, Dodge Grand Caravan and VW Routan.
I believe this procedure is also very similar to performing a timing belt replacement on a Chrysler 3.5l SOHC V6 engine found in older minivans and Dodge/Chrysler vehicles as well.

Thanks for the video! I just replaced the timing belt and water pump on my 2008 4.0 T&C. Best of all. I bought this car 2 years ago. The car needed a lot of work because my friend bought a new Pacifica, so he put the T&C at the mechanic and forgot about it for over a year. (All brakes to be done, humming front hubs, whining transmission). Of course I asked when the timing belt and water pump were replaced. He replied that around 70k miles, and the car had about 132,000 miles. after the purchase and repairs, I drove 29,000 miles. A few weeks ago I asked again and he said he never replaced them because the previous owner did! It turned out that the timing belt had 161,000 miles!
I used an 80 mm long M12 bolt with a nut and a large washer to install the harmonic balancer wheel. I mounted the wheel, screwed the set with the bolt into the hole in the shaft. Then it was enough to immobilize the bolt with one wrench and screw the nut with the other to press the wheel into place. It worked flawlessly, and it only cost $2.
My son and I had a fun DIY weekend thanks to you :)
@@andrzejpociegiel8153 well done! Glad this video helped out a bit.
This is really helpful. Thanks for making it. Nice work. Gave me confidence to do it myself.
Glad to hear it!
Beautiful video. Great description and giant help!
I appreciate you saying that!
@@AdamLucasYT flip cars and I inherited a minivan this helped alot!
If you are adjusting one of the camshafts back to TDC and it springs forward, will it bend the valves?
I took the camshaft bolt off before putting the belt on and turned it with out the belt own so the timing. What now?
I wish you could share how you got the second cam side on. I am having a devil of a time with that side being off by one notch. Because of the tension from the first. By the way great video .
@@mariomalone715 I apologize if my video didn't cover this good enough. I actually filmed this many years ago, so I don't have good advice off the top of my head. Are you certain it's off one notch and it's not just that the old belt was stretched a bit?
Thank you for your reply. It probably was stretched. Your video really helped me. Thanks again. I subscribed to your channel
@@mariomalone715 appreciate you!
Awesome Job !!
Thank you!
What are the tq specs?
You didn't have to take the knuckle apart from the strut... FYI
@@Bandwidth2024 factory manual says to.
Can o ask why you changed the timing belt and how did you know of ot was bad
Mileage. These need changed about every 80k to 100k miles.
So my belt broke while I was driving how can I confirm the engine is good
