Cool New to Dodge

Hello all. I just bought my 1st Dodge 2005 Ram 1500 with 108,000 miles on it 4.7. I really like the truck plenty of room. My 1st issue...When I got the truck it had a code P0016. The truck runs fine and idles smoothly, however, I just found that when I accelerate hard above 3000 the engine stumbles and looses power until you let off.
Any ideas??
Thank you.

Did you fix the issue causing the P0016 code?

Ok thanks. I have a cam sensor on order so I am going to replace that first.

Did you reset the computer after changing sensors?

It's whining about cam and crank signals not being what the PCM expects. So, possibly a stretched timing chain?

I've seen this happen one time, and problem was a failed timing chain tensioner. The plastic guides in the tensioner were cracked and broken. .
