They last awhile, that’s for sure.  These trucks most certainly do not have ‘timing chain issues.’ Doc – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> –TW > "Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. > Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life. " > -Terry Pratchett

This is why I bought a new GMC Sierra instead of a Toyota Tundra. My last timing chain lasted nearly 300,000 miles on a ‘78 Chevy 350-4. Hope my new one goes as long. I know the engine has a lot more power and better mileage than the old one ever did.

I have seen very few timing chains replaced on these engines. Ian
