A 2010 Ram with a gas engine has a timing chain. The Cummins diesel uses timing gears.
Yes, if the timing chain or gears are worn, acceleration can cause the chain to jump.
timing chain ( on the 2.8 liter 4 cylinder diesel and the 3.7 liter V6 gas )
It could be your timing is off or your timing chain needs replacement.
One way to tell if the timing chain is broken on your Nissan Altima is to see if it will start. If it starts, it is not the timing chain. You can also remove the distributor cap, have someone step on the gas while you watch the engine. If the rotor moves, it is not the timing chain.
The 4 cylinder gas engine has a timing Chain. The 4 cylinder diesel engine has a timing Belt.
YES
Check your timing. Is it possible your timing chain has jumped a tooth?
Yes
Running out of gas, timing chain breaks.
When you give it gas it advances and as you let off of the gas it retards. But it will stay the same. Now it does change base timing as the t-chain wheres and striches.
Something isn't timed properly, either the timing chain or the igniton.
