Hi:
If the valve cover hasn't been repaired under the recall, a Dodge dealership should still honor it. Also, I can get you a schematic of the timing belt routing. However, with only 40K on the car, does it need it? As far as the speedo, before you pay someone to do it, can you check under the dash to make sure the cable is plugged into the speedo itself? If it is, you could most likely replace it yourself. It's not that hard if you have any mechanical ability.

Let me know if I can help.
