I know at some point the engine was either rebuilt or replaced in the truck I currently own ('91 Pickup with 22RE). I'm not sure exactly when-the truck has 160K on the clock and my best guess is that the timing chain let go around 90-100K, but that could be off. If I'm right, the current chain has been on for about 60K. What is the timing chain change interval?

Typically 90-120k or when it starts clanking.

Mine is on the original chain and guides at 144K miles. This is with the driver side guide broken at the top bolt hole since I bought it at 95K miles a little over two years ago.

I think I will get around 200K out of mine. I would pop off the valve cover and take a look and decide whether or not you want to replace it. If everything is intact and it's not making any noise I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not recommending to run it like I have mine, it's probably best to replace it if it's broken but I have put around 50K on mine in two years like I said and it hasn't got any worse.

I just use rotella 5W40 T6 and change it every 3K miles. I think a good, thicker oil helps.
