Default 2010 timing chaing

always had the 2.3 or 2.5 with 98 being the newest of them all. They had timing belts. Found a 2010 with 2.3 4 cyl, guy says their chain and not belts anymore? This true? Also with 155000 on the truck, what are things to look for with these years and engines?

thanks in advance

The dohc 2.3 has a timing chain.

I'd look for cam cover leaks which might flood the plug wells, the electric thermostat if equipped with one, and the coolant hose condition. From perusing, there is one hose that snakes around the back end of the engine that requires removing the transmission to change.

Are you allergic to google? Millennials sure are lazy.
