Replying to: fraseronly (Jul 30, 2009 7:47 pm) Let's see if Bob, our resident towing expert, can chime in on what year the ratings went up. I'm sure he'll remind you that with over 1000 lbs you're supposed to have trailer brakes. I don't think the timing chain has a replacement interval. It should last the life of the engine. Even the belts last 105,000 miles. Replies to this message: rsholland (Jul 31, 2009 8:04 am)
