I'm not sure how to figure out if my listed above 1500 has a timing belt or timing chain. Do you know?

Hello,

Your vehicle is equipped with a timing chain.

The timing chain is not a maintenance item like the timing belt. However, it is recommended to replace if there is excessive play in the chain.

I have attached the guidelines of the how to check for excessive play in the chain.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
