Whats to going rate for a replacement timing chain and who around the chattanooga area can do one and be trusted? I'm thinking thios is going to have to be a dealer repair to make sure it done right...
Nahhh,
a timing chain swap is WELL within the average DIY's ability to replace. on a running vehicle. I'd order a new factory key with no offset first, just in case someone has already installed an offset.

you need to have a garage to do it in my opinion... outside timing chain work is unwise.
