Re: '96 Stratus ES: broken timing belt

I had a thought about this after I posted earlier: One possibility is 
that whoever replaced your belt and pump did not replace the tensioner 
pulley.  They do wear out and lock up.  If that happened, that could 
have led to an instant chain reaction with the results you see.  Do you 
happen to know if they replaced the tensioner (also might be called 
tensioner pulley)?
