Huh, your chain is rattling at 16K miles??? Doesn't sound right to me.

Subject: DML: When are timing chains supposed to start getting noisy?
16,000 miles? Mine seems to be getting kinda loud on
the V6 these days.Are the chains just prone to stretch
early on the Magnums,or is the tensioner shot? My wife
even asked me what the noise was recently when we were
at a drive-thru (where it is ESPECIALLY
noticeable!)Would a double-roller timing chain be
better,and any quieter? Of course it would have to be
MY Dak that has typically high-mileage stuff happen
early,as always. Right now,it sounds like an old
wooden roller coaster making a steep climb.(Well,maybe
it`s not quite that bad.You know what I mean.)
Steve P. having my muse shat upon lately by rattling noises!
