getting all my stuff together for my cam and head swap and thought i would go ahead and get this now.

so what chain seems to be the best? part #?

 

I went with the Mopar timing chain and gears when I did my timing chain.

 

I got the Cloyes single roller and it's identical to stock, don't know if it's as good as a double roller but the truck is running good so I can't complain.

 

X2 on the Cloyes.

 

Jp performance chain. Can't recall the pn offhand. Much more heavy duty than the Cloyes HD chain I bought. Dodges seem to have the longest chain of any vehicle I've seen so a good chain is a must IMO. I've heard Rollmaster makes a ggod chain too, but I've no personal experience with one.

 

I went with the Mopar performance dbl roller chain nice piece no issues when installing it, 3 different key ways in the crank gear to pick from.

Don't take this the wrong way but YES it's only 30 bucks and you are rite there

 

i also have a performance chain

 

is the tensioner ok to run with a double roller? i think that is the route i wanna go. a double roller.
