This timing belt has 150 teeth and it's the equivalent of a T246 belt in other competitive number systems. All of the above applications use the same timing belt but please be aware that some engine combinations have hydraulic tensioner systems while others have a mechanical (spring) tensioner system. Chrysler used absolutely no control at all when building timing belt systems for these engines and you will not be able to tell which package is on your engine . . . . until you take it apart ! No, not even with an engine VIN code. . . . now, ain't that HI-TECH ?

If your system has the hydraulic tensioner, Chrysler and Mitsubishi dealers have "captured" the hydraulic tensioner adjuster and do not allow it to be sold on the aftermarket by the OE supplier. SO, if you would like to replace the hydraulic tensioner system with a mechanical spring tensioner system because of the outrageous price the guy at the OE parts counter just quoted you, consider this conversion kit as it will certainly save you some of your hard-earned bucks !

Please note: severe engine damage can occur from simple errors. Installation should only be performed by a professional, certified technician !

Following is a quote from the product information sheet:

On the back of this page you can see the data charted from actual running test engines with Mechanical vs. Hydraulic Tensioner systems. The charted data speaks for itself, a mechanical timing belt tensioner is better for the engine and timing belt." The link to that chart image follows here and, please note that Litens Automotive Group is ALSO THE OEM for the original mechanical systems used by Chrysler:
