[QUOTE="Mike Wilson, post: 991677, member: 62656"] Hey, all! Long time no post.Thought I'd give some feedback since I'm gonna ask a question. Got 112,787 miles on a 2005. Bought her new, and well maintained. In and out, top to bottom. I'm a certified mechanic with some measure of OCD. So, she's been well maintained, but driven. Not a problem so far, either drivetrain or electrical. I'm getting a little concerened with this timing chain issue I've been hearing about. No matter how much you change the oil, or keep the RPM's under 4,000, they're gonna break or stretch to the point your motor wont run but about 150-200,000 miles before it gets the "death rattle" and quits. And my understanding, this isn'nt and old Chevy or Ford small block timing chain job. I've heard it requires pulling the motor, and requires a complete rebuild to do it properly. Experiences, please?!?! :online: [/QUOTE]
