The timing belt should be changed every 60,000 miles on the 2000 Chrysler 2.5 Liter V6. This is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The cam belt also drives the water pump so you would be wise to replace the water pump at the same time you replace the cam belt. For sure replace it at the 120,000 miles mark. Do not neglect this repair our it can cost you dearly if the belt breaks.
Every 50,000 miles or every 4 years, whichever comes first.
It is recommended to replace every 100,000 miles and also do the waterpump and check the timing belt pulleys.
Also check manifold vacuum at idle the best you can hold an idle. I have run into timing belt being one tooth off and engine still ran fine. But the vacuum was low that's how I could tell the belt was a tooth off.
