Non INtrusive 3.2 98?
After researching whether or not it was important to change my T belt.. I found out that the 3.2 motor produced in models 98 and forward are non-intrusive engines; meaning no damage to motor if T belt breaks. The auto parts store have agreed and told me the same thing. I just want to be sure- does anyone know if this is true on 98 and newer 3.2's?

Re: Non INtrusive 3.2 98?
59 threads with "interference" in them. Here is the latest...
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...t=interference By the way, Gates disagrees. At least part of the time. On one part of their site they say it is an interference application, non-interference on another.

Re: Non INtrusive 3.2 98?
Jerry (jlemeond) says they are non interference so I'll go with that. However, the tensioner or water pump usually goes before the t-belt does. They usually dont last much past 100k miles.
