About Roland Finston
Expertise
I take questions about domestic Chrysler-product front wheel drive cars and minivans for the years 1982-2000 based upon my experience and shop manuals. I don't have detailed information (e.g. manuals) nor expertise for Jeeps, trucks, SUV's, import vehicles, or for years more recent than 2000. I am available to take a question between 8AM CST and 9PM CST . If I am shown as "maxed out" try again later in the day as I add question opportunities one at a time so as to respond quickly, but I do have other responsibilities as well so may not be available for several hours at times. Try at 7PM CST as I will always be available for one question then. There are answers to hundreds of Chrysler questions at your finger tips: click on "view past answers", one of which may be to your question as well; or put a few key words in the "search for" box, above.

Experience
I have been a do-it-yourself auto hobbyist for 5 decades, and most recently have been concentrating on the various Chrysler Corporation domestic front wheel drive cars and vans. I have shop manuals and wiring diagrams for many models for the years '83-'00, as well as rear wheel drive cars for the early 80's. I enjoy analyzing problems that other Chrysler enthusiasts are having and sharing my information. Organizations belong to Group co-moderator of the Yahoo autos group The Chrysler LeBaron Club

Question
99 chrysler 3.5 l 6cyd, need to set timing belt

Answer
Hi Kelly,
The procedure involves a couple of special tools and also a multi-step process to install the timing belt. This site only allows posting of text, no drawings or photos. So I would need to xerox copy and postal mail you the 2+ pages from my '99 shop manual that tells and shows the process. You can use the "thank and rate" tab below where there is a space for "comments" for you to list your postal mailing address. I don't believe it can be described with words, you also need the drawings.
Do you already have it apart? and did you leave it a TDC of the compression stroke of cyl. #1? Or do you believe that the timing has slipped? Or are you just thinking about replacing the timing belt but haven't started on the job yet? It would be helpful to know that so I know what pages you need. I guess that you don't have a manual of any sort?
I would be pleased to send you up to 4 pages for free, but beyond that I would ask you to send me back some postage stamps to cover my costs which are 10 cents per side and the necessary postage. You can send me the reimbursement after you get the pages.
Roland
