Re: timing belt broke!!
I hope and pray that you didn't bend any valve b/c the 3.0 V6 is an interference engine. The exact same happened to me when I had my old Dodge Spirit w/ the same 3.0 V6. I was fortunate that I didn't bend any valves when it happened. If you want to tackle on this project by yourself, go to your local auto part store and pick up a manual about your car (if you can't find one on Lebaron's find any manual about Chrysler vehicles equipped w/ the 3.0 V6, it will all be the same procedure). While you have everything apart, replace your water pump, cam oil seals and crank oil seals and timing belt tensioner. Mine broke due to old age, coolant leak, & a bad tensioner that ate up the backside of the belt. From hence forth, make sure that at every 60,000 miles, you replace your timing belt.
