as far as a tensioner goes... the milodon chain will never stretch...not in your lifetime anyway. no way i would go through that trouble with a premium set.

Check the Timing Chain Cover too. For some reason the inner workings rubbed mine ( 97 1500 4x4 ) right at the pulley and wore a half circle kinda like a backward C on the inside. The small amount of metal that got rubbed off caused HUGE problems with engine stall etc. Part is stupid pricey thou, got one from the Junk Yard for like 80 beans.

No, but that's the most you should probably go if you go wheeling.

Their website is a mess right now, I'd call them if you want anything specific.

The link I posted earlier is what they are grinding for the RV cam. If you ask them for Bill's RV cam they put in his Durango, they'll know what you're asking for.

Thanks! There site was always messed up. I could not always find things I needed from them.

I just want a cam that will give me a good boost in low-end power. Last time I pulled the camper, it left me something to be disired outta this 176,000 mile engine!

Ain't that funny? My water pump **** out on me like exactly at 100,000 miles too. The fuel pump had just went about 1000 miles before that.

Have fun with the install.

My water pump was out when we bought the truck, at 120,000. But I'm sure that it was out long before i got my hands on it...
