Stock is a morse style chain, that is prone to stretching. At your mileage, it has prolly stretched a good bit. Getting things back to where the computer thinks they should be brings back a fair bit of lost power as from the engine aging. Of all the stuff I have done to my truck, the timing chain was the biggest net power gain... not to mention smoother running/shifting/etc.

I will try to fInd one then . Sounds like a valid investment and while I'm in there replacing pulleys, 1.7, intake and e fan I might as well add the peace of mind.
As long as I don't mess up the timing

This is where I get some of my drivline parts, not to helpfull for you as it's up here in Canada, http://www.iwerearendsonly.com/produ...ils.php?id=207 Just do a google search on them. Double roller T chain for sure is a good bet.
