96 dodge caravan 3.0L timing belt

[Randy Bassham]

FWIW the owners manual for my 88 GV 3.0 says inspect at
60,000 and replace at 90,000. Since I'm the paranoid type
that thinks Murphy was an optimist, I change all my timing
belts at 50,000 miles. It may be a little too often but IMHO it's
cheap insurance....

I just changed my original timing belt & water pump at 154K on my '88
Caravan, the belt still looked good!

I replaced my timing belt and water pump at 115K miles and it was in good
shape, as was the water pump. But you know Murphy's law.....
