Do these motors have any timing chain issues? 96 1500 5.7L 85K mi, well maintained with synthetic and not abused.

I have seen very few timing chains replaced on these engines.

This is why I bought a new GMC Sierra instead of a Toyota Tundra. My last timing chain lasted nearly 300,000 miles on a '78 Chevy 350-4. Hope my new one goes as long. I know the engine has a lot more power and better mileage than the old one ever did.

They last awhile, that's for sure. These trucks most certainly do not have 'timing chain issues.'
