New Timing Chain.

[PilotFighter]

Finally had to break down and do a little work on my old truck. I can't believe the extra power it seems the old truck has picked up since putting the new chain and gears on yesterday. I wonder if this new chain will last almost 300,000 miles like the last one did?

You got your money out of them. Too bad they don't use timing gears that last the life of the engine.

300K on a timing chain?

Whoa !

Old gears must have been steel, rather than the non-steel composites that have been used in more recent models. Did you replace the gears, as well?

What motor is it?

Am interested in knowing the enginemfgr also.

ITGN, I am currently driving a '98 Chevy p/u, 350CI, with 322k miles, all original engine parts, except for a water pump & alternator. Original 4L80E trans, have replaced two fuel pumps. I should trade it, (no more tax write off left) but I want to see how long it *will* last.

Green Co. I think that after we put a quater million miles on a truck, Chevy should take ours and put it on display, and give us a brand new one. LOL
