So I've been reading about the problems with the plastic timing guides and how they wear out and need replacement on the V6 engines. About a week or so ago I noticed the same timing chain whine and took my truck into the dealer.
I have an 4x4 SE with about 42,000 miles and the dealership so far has claimed they will replace the guides and do an upgraded timing chain as well to prevent this from happening again. They have also agreed to fix everything under warranty.
So with the reading I did on this forum I don't recall their being an upgraded or different chain for this problem. Is this something new? Or did I just look over this?? Also for those of you that have had this done, has your truck stayed trouble free?? Or did you have to replace these guides again a few thousand miles down the road.
I have to admit doing a timing chain at 42,000 miles is tempting me towards finding another truck down the road....
Thanks for your imput..Mouse29
