but the one for the stock engine won't ship out for about a week and i don't want to wait that long for shipping

so do you think that t chain will be fine for my basicly stock truck or ?

 

That's the one that I got. It will suit you just fine. FYI, get it from Amazon, they ship pretty fast and it's free.

Not a bad price. How much is shipping? I used the Ssomethingorother from advance auto. Price was a couple bucks more, but, they had it on the shelf. Nice quality piece.

 

I had a nice quality piece last night.. I pulled a drew, said something I figured would tweak her, and I was right.. I doubt I hear from her again.. life is good..

At 162 and on the oe chain, anything is going to be an improvement.. I bet your crank and cam are playing hopscotch like a ***** right now.. take a pic of that thing when you yank the cover.. I'd like to see the slack..

 

okay i'll take pictures i'm gonna tear it all down tomorrow... i only got my camera phone so i hope that works for you guys...

i know a lose timing chain isn't good but what does it really do? with it being lose does it make the timing off or something?

 

Depends on how loose it is really.

is this a double roller timeing chain?

i'm gonna pull my truck apart tomorrow and i figure i'll just buy one from a local place

 

Yup its about time to do my t-chain too, im at 110k and my last oil change I noticed the bottom of the front of my engine was nicely saturated with oil! Most likely my t-chain cover seal.

I should have done this when I installed the plenum plate, but that was my first but not last repair/modification. Plus I was in over my head while I was tearing the top part of my motor apart.

Any ways do I have to remove the intake to do the t-chain?
The p.o. Said he did the water pump before I bought it, so I know thats new.
Also what about the front/rear main seal?
Also should I replace the oil pump/pick-up while im in there?
If so should I get a high volume or regular oil pump?

Thanks and sorry for the thread jack!
