I have a 2002 Tundra with a 4.3 v6 motor and I was wondering if there is a timing belt or a chain and when should I change it out?

Umm...That should either be 3.4 V6, or 4.7 V8... or has it had a Chevy 4.3 V6 swap done....???

The 3.4 V6 and 4.7 V8 both have timing belts...I know the RECOMMENDED replacement for the 4.7 is 90K, but lots of people have gone way past into 130K, 140K and even longer...

The 3.4L V6 has a belt. The 4.0L V6 has a chain.
