2007 Dodge Charger R/T

Was driving home and car started to get hot. I stopped the car and the temp gauge went all the way to C. So I started it up and engine  sounded great, temp gauge stayed on C. I had two stop signs and then I slowed down to turn in my drive and it died. At that point the tank was hot so I pushed it in driveway. This morning went to start it and it had a loud noise clanking in the front and won’t stay running. I’m thinking timing chain because it was OK when it died. Unsure.


Sounds about right. I would remove the serpentine belt and start it up again to make sure it is an internal noise before digging into the timing chain.
