Do you need to replace a timing chain on 1995 jeep grand Cherokee limited?

I believe that its just the timing belts that should be changed every 80,000 miles or so and not the chain. Belts exist in smaller four cylinder engines and in some six cylinder engines as well. Timing chains typically don't break any more often than other metal parts on the inside of your engine. A call to a dealer will get you more free and correct information. Good luck !!

I was looking at the 1999 Ford Escort scheduled maintenance guide and the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc . ) and both show to inspect the timing belt at 120,000 miles , replace if necessary ( that applies to both the 2.0 liter SOHC and DOHC engines )


How often do you change timing belt?

The timing belt should be changed every 60,000 miles. Most belts will still look like new at 60,000 miles. They seem to want to break at 100,000 miles. Nothing bad will happen if it breaks other than a tow to a mechanic. This is true if you have a non-interference engine BUT if you have an interference engine and the timing belt breaks the engine can destroy itself in a moment.
