I believe I have read on here several times that the 94-99 3.5L is a non-interference motor So when the timing belt lets loose everything lives and you just need to put on a new belt & Tensioner. Can someone please verify that I am remembering this correctly. 3.5L in a LH car build Date 6/94 This motor to be specific Thanks 6093405-P1010341.JPG (295 downloads) 1966 383, 4-sp Charger 38yrs 1970 440+6, 4-sp Road Runner 36yrs 1974 360, auto Challenger 25yrs,in Family 41yrs 2003 Ram 2500 QCLB 4x4 Cummins HO 2010 5.7L R/T 6sp Challenger - Mopar10 2018 392 Daytona Charger

The old belt still looked to be in decent condition, but I did not want any problems with it because usually when something brakes, it happens at the worst time, like 100 miles from nowhere.. that is where my fuel pump went out

They sell more belts with that storey. Broke the belt on my 94 LHS. No vavles were bent. BTW, it's the water pump seizing up that broke my belt. 69 Super Bee, 93 Mustang LX, 04 Allure Super
