Want this question answered?
Timing chain usually needs to be replaced each 180-200K miles.
I timing chain rarely needs replacing. A timing belt needs to be replaced at the interval specified in your owner's manual. Don't have one, get one.
never needs to be replaced
The timing chain does not have a service interval. It only needs replaced if there is a failure.
No, It has a chain that never needs to be replaced

There is no scheduled replacement on timing chains (only on timing belts). Therefore, it only needs to be replaced if it breaks.
A timing chain runs inside the engine, as it needs to be lubricated by the engine oil. A timing belt typically needs to be replaced between 40,000 and 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle.
It is probably not a belt, but rather a chain
It will become noisy and you may experience poor performance.
When I bought my '02 I was told that it no longer has the timing belt/chain that needs to be replaced at around 60,000 miles (my '96 did have a timing belt that needed to be replaced every 60,000 miles). I have put over 80,000 mi. on my '02 and nice to know I won't be getting surprised by timing belt failure. Did have to have the serpentine belt on the engine replaced recently though.
you should never have to replace the chain. not impossible but rare that this has to ever be replaced. if it is a 2000 to 2003 model with a 3.3l v6 it has a timing belt which needs to be replaced every 105000 miles.
