Default Timing chain time

My timing chain cover in my '94 Dakota with a '98 5.9 is leaking coolant. Since I have to pull the cover I'm going to do the chain, that's a no brainer. I'm going to be installing the chain tensioner. I have two questions, 1) Who makes the best timing chain and what's the part number, 2) What's the part number for the the timing chain tensioner from Chrysler. I looked for a FAQ but couldn't find it. If anybody has a link to that, please post it for future reference.

I'm towing a minivan on a tow dolly to California from Arizona and a car back in June. I want to get this done before I go.

Go to napa and get their timing set. Mine was a cloyes double roller for 1/2 the price because it was reboxed as napa brand.
