The Dodge Ram 3500 vehicles make use of metal timing chains that have been adopted since the 1990's because of there less frequency of replacement as opposed to the rubber based timing belts. Timing chains in general are known to require less wear than other types and thus issues which might arise are on lubrication or the tensioner and chain guides.
