Wow someone from louisville, awesome we ought to meet up sometime and give each other a hand working on something. Since I just got the 2wd truck saturday and me and my buddy are in the process of working on the paint and body on my 4wd, it will be a little bit before I work on the engine.
As for the timing chain, I didn't have time to get the metal guides when I pulled it apart to fix it. My dad and I worked on it and since he is always out of town I only had a days notice that we were going to fix it.
As for the new motor I know I'm going to get a cam probably engnbldr. I got a buddy that is insane with head work so I'm going to go to him and have it ported and polished. There is this machine shop out near national turnpike that my buddy with his monster of a truck takes his stuff to so I might go talk to him about boring it. Thats just an idea I haven't really researched too much yet I just remember seeing something about it on a website somewhere maybe it was roger browns site.

probably you best bet would be to look either in the owners manuals or goto a local autoparts store either ask them at the counter or goto buy a cheap haynes book, you get what you pay for though.

Not sure about the motor in the 2001's... if it's a V6, and not an overhead cam, then you'll have to look at a service manual, but chances are, it's a chain. I'm not sure I know of a motor (but I'm sure there probably is one) that uses a belt in a V configuration.
If it's a 4cyl, then most, if not all, of them are overhead cam, so simply pop off the valve cover and look at what drives the cam gear. You'll be able to tell easily enough.

That's one wild looking belt arrangement, I'll say that!

Dude, could you please post the instructions on the timing chain replacement you did. Did you remove the head and/or oil pan to accomplish the task? If so, is it really necessary?
Thanks AJ
