Consumer Description

THE TIMING CHAIN IS GOING BAD FOR NO REASON, AND I KNOW IS NOT OLTHE ONLY ONE, A FRIEND OF MINE HAS THE SAME TRUCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR NO REASON AS WELL... I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL AND THE TRUCK LOST THE POWER AND DIDN'T COME BACK SO, I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK AND TAKE IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIME CHAIN WAS BAD. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU DO SOME RESEARCH AND HELP ME AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS THE SAME TRUCK AS ME.
