Default When to change timing chain?

I rolled over 100k finally (I'm sitting at 102,800something) and I'm starting to look at some of the other longer term scheduled things. I can't find timing chain in any of the maintenance scheduling. I even went over the one stickied here on the boards and I couldn't find it. Is there a recommended mileage to change it? I'm not having any issues at all, but if it is coming up due it's going to get changed.

2010 1500 5.7 Hemi, 4x4

My 09 was at 173k when i sold it. Never heard of doing a timing chain as a preventative in a hemi.

usually a timing chain is good until you rebuild the engine(and beyond most times), unless you have a problem with it leave it alone.
