Replacing a Timing Belt and Water Pump on a 2005 Dodge Magnum 3.5L Chrysler 6 cylinder. 

It's because of you I still have a car and not in debt. I hope God blesses you

Just did a 06 Chrysler 300 3.5L timing belt cover gasket and i watched this awesome fellow to put the belt back on correctly..

BEST MADE VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN... THIS WAS STEP BY STEP... WORKED THE WHOLE TIME... WHILE "HE TALKED...WITHOUT STOPING... ONLY TO JESTER WITH HANDS.. SHOWED EVERY PART... ON AND OFF.. START TO FINISH...WONDERFUL JOB.. VERY HELPFUL.... THANK YOU 🤗🤗🤗👍👏👏👏👏👏

Who knew that one day not only would you have your 1/2" breaker bar, socket set, PB blaster, would also be a laptop to watch RU-vid how to. Awesome job man!

Watched this over and over and referenced it throughout the process. All fixed up with no leaks!! Thank you! The timing belt set up took the longest. Bout 2 hours of the total 6 hours. The cardboard works great. Just keep it super tight in the cams. My passenger side also didnt line up exactly but very close.Great work!

Very helpful, step by step and even gives all the torque specs. Thank you!

I know this is a couple years old but Distratctor u r the man. I did one of these having never did one by watching your video and 5 hours later its running like a champ. Thanks for the video dude very informative. You should do more the way you show everything step by step is helpful.

Great video man !!! You fixed my car for me and didn't even know you did, thanks for great explanation of the process

Great job! The work-around for putting the harmonic balancer back on helped me thank m12- 100 mm with a "grip" of flat washers.

Nice video Sir! I own a few of these 3.5 in my wifes magnum and her charger. You have really made this easy by listing the correct torques and other weird tools needed. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I just purchased an '05 Magnum (with the 3.5) and your video looks like it's got the little things I was looking for (like the special tools, torques, and ideas on keeping the timing belt in place while you install it).

thanks so much followed your video step by step and did this myself. took about 4 hrs. I spent about 1hr fighting with the belt... no room for error. but otherwise this was almost easy! again thanks for the video. saved me over $750.

Didn’t skip anything like other videos. Thank you tremendously

I like that you show cleaning your tools and putting them away after finishing the job. It is a nice way to end the video, and it advocates taking care of tools and keeping them organized.

Thank you for the video, it gave me the confidence to tackle this myself and I succeeded!

This was a helpful reference for my 3.5 timing job. Slightly different in the older Intrepid, but similar enough that I had a good idea what I was getting into. Thanks!

Great video. Somebody get this man a cordless ratchet

Excellent video, real step by step and easy to follow. Thanks for posting.

My compliments, great instructional video. Disconnecting battery for safety and accidental cranking of the engine, 2 thumbs up.

like that u corrected ur self with the slash symbles lol nice thank you so much ,help me out alot

Time to buy an inch pound torque wrench.... I did this job 60k miles ago on my 06 magnum and now the pump is leaking. It was a continental kit with a 100k warranty let see how that goes at the parts store. This was an excellent video. I found that instead of cardboard to hold belt that the spring clamps from HF worked like a champ. I remember that my driver cam jump when I pulled off the belt but can get i back into place going forward or backward...

Awesome video! Just did this on my 06’ Chrysler 300. I love the buzzer effect with the red Strike 😄 and the bleeps 😄 thank you SOOOOO much for posting this !!!

Man I really appreciate you calling out all of the torque specs that really helped me out thanks alot

Thanks these videos have been a huge help it’s amazing how simple these cars are to fix

Great video no need to take my charger to the shop an pay $1,400,u just showed me how to fix it myself THANK YOU......

Excellent video, my boy and his girlfriend bought a 05 Magnumd and hopefully I can pull it off. I've worked on cars my entire life. Never do any of my or family's vehicles go to the shop, except transmissions. I'll use this to get me through the process. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to enlightening us on how to do this job, God bless you 🙏

Yes thank you . This is one of many of the same videos I watched prior to successfully change these parts out. Except when I finished I had extra bolts and some plastic pieces that didn't seem to fit anywhere

Wow! Awesome, God bless you. Thanks for your knowledge. I will tackle my big job tomorrow. This video will come in handy if I forget something. Take care.

Great video, I enjoy it! One observation would be to use the proper HOAT Chrysler/Dodge antifreeze or it can creat a problem with your head gasket or other gaskets. Other than that, I love how you didn't edit your mistakes, I know I've made them lol

Amazing video. Step by step. Just replaced my sons and his timing was 180* out. This video allowed me to fix his car and save money on mechanics.

A very good video overall - covering 3.5L timing belt/water pump work - especially from a chronological perspective. I performed this task on a 2010 Charger 3.5L V6 recently. A few things I'd like to throw in: - No way cardboard is going to hold the belt. In order to get and keep it tight on the passenger cam sprocket - I used a 1/4" shank screw driver no more than 8" long - 5/16" can also work or maybe use extensions. In order to hold the crank - I used a short/straight chisel with a piece of shop towel around it. You MUST keep things tight on the crank and drivers side. Those 2 cannot move once you get around to doing the final work on the passenger side cam gear. The video by GOAT Garage has a good presentation on how to do this. - The M12x1.75x100 bolt used to reinstall damper works if you use a std. length 1/2" Dr. socket as a spacer. If you use a longer spacer that you'll see in other videos, you'll need a 110mm/120mm bolt. - You may not be able to get the passenger side cam gear timing mark to hold and keep its position perfectly. The mark on my passenger cam gear was about 1/16" to the right facing the index mark on the back side of the housing. More than one dealer tech told me this is fine. I've driven the car quite a bit since reassembly and no issues. It is my belief the only way ALL 3 marks are going to line up perfectly is to follow the steps in the FSM regarding the loosening of the rockers. My crank timing mark and drivers side timing mark were spot on. Again - the passenger side mark was 1/16" to the right facing it. - For those who are not aware - you do not need to pull the tensioner and compress piston - reinstall grenade pin - in order to realign timing marks. Go to about 6m15s into this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CgpGJckntO0.html - The type of index marks used on the rear cover are not the same in the various 3.5 motors. Some have double dots and others have a plain vertical indentation. The latter is what my '10 3.5 Charger has. - Aftermarket timing belts are more likely to be off. This is why I used all OEM parts. If the aftermarket worked for you - so be it. No need to whine and cry about how they worked for you. - The wrench/socket sizes shown in this video may not quiet line up with your situation. Car mfgs. change that all of the time. - Thanks to distractor_beam

Awesome info. Hreat job mate. Did my charger in 4 hours after watching this awesome video. God bless.

Excellent in depth presentation

WOW thanks for sharing. I'm sure I'll be doing this to my recently bought dodge charger. As I've found out it's a salvage car. Hopefully I hit jackpot with this great beauty of a project.

Best play by play video ever awesome great job!!!

Thank you sir on your tutorial, you killed it and made my job so much easier !!!

This king! Made it super simple and nice. Thank you.

Thanks for the help on this!! Just finished my son’s ‘05 Chrysler 300 water pump and timing belt using the same kit. Saved $600 from what the dealer quoted for just replacing the water pump.

Brother you did a great job and you did a lot of teaching along the video. Great job!!

Thanks for the help ahead of time this is a great video

Incredible video, well-done

Thanks for the video. I just used it to replace my water pump. I suggest getting a Milwaukee electric ratchet. It seriously cuts down on the time of any job since its so fast, and when it comes to breaking bolts, its heavier body makes provides it more levarage so its alot easier. Also, whenever working on cars, I hate how its always those little things like that one stubborn bolt, or in your case pulling the pin on the tensioner that makes the job that much harder. lol.

Best mechanic I've ever watched on utube. Thank you very much for making this video 👍

Excellent job my friend !!

Man awesome video. My waterpump went out yesterday 😩 found this and it really helped get me through it. I did have my driver side valve jump while doing this. Really hope I didn't mess up too bad. About to add coolant and fire 🔥 it up. Wish me luck lol 😆

Holy crap dude, awesome tutorial! It's 12:45 AM and I should be sleeping, but I now know how to change my timing belt in 40K miles or so LOL!! Also I had it done shortly after buying the car (was at 120K miles) and the mechanic told me it a lift the engine out job. I completely thought the belt was in the back...

Sweet video..got my timing belt done today

Thank you , the cardboard thing , priceless! Once the tensioner came into full play , the rear cam timing mark went right on point! 2004 Pacifica 300000 miles

Thank you for doing this video very very clearly I appreciate it

Thank you. That was a very helpful video

Looking forward to working on my motor.. That’s a Great informative video

Great Video, really helped by placing the Cardboard around the Belt! Belt kept falling off, then I remembered this Video :) Changing at 133k Miles. I know I Dragged it out over 100k, So Happy that I did not Loose it while driving :) I did have my Rear Cam off about a half a tooth forward. Did not remember reading about the Water Pump positioning up more, if possible, but feel with New Belt being Tight, the Tensioner will pull it back that Way, since the Front Cam & Crank are tdc! Went ahead & Started prior to putting timing covers back on (Learn from Experience), Started right up, sounded Perfect, putting it all back together. Thanks Again!

cool vid... as a mechanic never worked one of these .. it appears you can leave on bottom vibr. damper pully if only changing water pump. but great idea go the extra and do the timing belt and tensioner parts. should have pinched closed the pin and pulled it half way... but you didnt lose a inch of skin, so all good . Its getting so much easier, except those 2-3 "special" sockets, which you point out. pretty sure i will do my buddys now..its "pissing" out the front center lower. 1/2022 yur still helping..

thanks man helped me not get fired today

Awesome Job 👍

U really know ur stuff. Thank u

Great details

Great video brother

I agree with comment before this, best "how to" video ever. This will be the first place I come to when in question.

Awesome job great video.

thank you dude really detailed.

Great Video! Thanks!

Bad ass dude! I'm seriously considering doing this. However, I wI'll definitely be pulling EVERYTHING off the front of technology car radiator and all

How much space should be between the rear of the crank pully and the cover when you push the pulley back on, I used your method and I'm unsure if it's completely back in place.

Not only does Autozone only loan the Chrysler Harmonic balancer puller, but they also loan out a Harmonic Balancer installer.

Great video

great vid. thanks bud

When I take or remove the radiator fan out I put a sheet board in front of the radiator so it doesn't get hit so you don't have no close encounters happening.

good job , thanks for share

Best video ever thanks

Was the timing belt making a ticking/knocking noise ? I have an 06 & I dont know if it's a lifter gone bad or timing belt making the noise. PLEASE HELP !!!

well done!.. you have a good temperment for working on cars!.. ive worked on cars since i was 15 and can count on one hand the times i havnt cussed or got pissed and thrown something!!.. lol!! (unless you were just being good for the camera!.. lol!)... and thats a good inch lb torque wrench... i dont even know if mine even goes up to over 200 inch lbs!.. lol!

Bless you sir... you saved my life

so helpful thanks .it was so real .

gravy job!

Great video and I'd like to know what you shot it with. It's line of sight, but it's not moving....so...? It looks nice! On the critical side... no need to remove air-box, power steering pump, or disconnect battery, Also that Torx is a T30, not T40. No need for the washers on the crank bolt, the bolt by itself will be just fine. Coolant on the crank pulley is not an issue, just rinse it off with hot water. When you're torquing the water pump bolts, use a "spiral" pattern starting at the center and working outwards and do it in at least two stages of tightness. And finally you can use cheapy spring clamps to secure the belt to the pulleys to prevent movement when setting up timing. Thanks for the good work!

brilliant video bud you have a lot of patience.

I saw your video from beginning to end 👍 I believe you made a great job and I hope I will do too! 💪 I want to thank you for sharing your video!👍. I hope the job I will do works as well💪🙏

thank you for the info

Thank U man ... U are a amazing Bro.. Regards from Tamaulipas Mexico.

To prevent finger getting cut from Radiator. Cut large cardboard out and tape it across it. From there, you can work without worries, and you won't damage the radiator fins either.

Mate...just duct tape a piece of cardboard paper to your condenser. .....save your knuckles and protect your condenser.

Congratulations on the video...

Thx for tha intel.👍✌😎

perfect, thank you.

Hello, how are all the parts from the AC/DELCO kit holding up after 5 years? Thx

Is the level of this job suitable for someone who never done any mechanic work beforehand, given that the video is applied slowly and step by step? All relative responses are appreciated. Thanks.

perfect video..

What's the name of the tool that you used to hold the crankshaft pulley while removing the bolt?

It’s a good video of explaining only thing that confuses me is the end when he makes sure the timing is all lined up he takes the bolt off and it takes the 2 top notches off of where they line up. So how does that fix that? Or do they just have to be centered basically and the bottom one is the one that make sure it’s centered as long as it’s notch is lined up?

Where u add engine oil gets hot when up to temp oil light comes on help? Ik my egr is bad is that why?

So the top cover doesn’t really to be taken off? Im talking about where the ignition coils are? They keep telling me i do but wat for?

If the cams are out of align with the mark how do I rotate them to align with the mark

Do you think a 80mm bolt will do the job instead of 100mm, mysteriously in Canada we only have m12 x 1.75 x 80 mm I didn't find anywhere a 100mm

great job on this video, gave me alot of good tips an was a big help for me thanks man

hello sir I want to ask. How many miles do you think this 3.5 engine can drive?

Hello, do you know if the Harmonic Dampener Puller will fit the pulley on the 2.7l V6 Dodge Charger? Please?

My Dodge Mag snapped the TBelt yesterday but i didn't crank the engine after that. Are there anymore damages to expect before opening the front cover? The weather is too bad up north here Canada i can't do it myself i don't have shade or garage.

GOOD YOU SHOWED REINSTALLING THE DAMPENER, SOME DON'T.
