How do you know if the timing belt needs to be change on a 2003 Dodge Stratus?
Debdull
I don't know if Dodge give a recommended interval for changing it. I think I would do it about 60,000-75,000 myself. If it is an interference engine, do it at 60,000 for sure. If the belt breaks, the engine will turn over quicker from less resistance but will not start. change it!! A new belt with 50 miles on it will look like a belt with 50,000 miles on it...!! Check out the Gates website to see if this is a interference engine(valves impact the piston when belt breaks), if so..DO IT TOMORROW...if not, when it breaks you;ll have to tow it, and miss a job interview, or have a baby on the side of the road...etc..so either way...DO IT! JUST DO IT! :) also...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a professional shop manual available, to make copies of, in the Reference section...good luck:)
