    Hi all. I have the dreaded timing chain rattle in my 13 Tundra which is just about to hit the 250k mark.
    My question is, has anyone done the timing chain job on a higher mileage 5.7?
    Trying to decide on wether to throw the money on that, or just do a reman swap.
    Thoughts? Experience?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance

    If the engine is fine, just swap the tensioner. I get it - it's the labor that's crushing. Now that being said, the serpentine tensioner and idler bearing (or any other bearing on the serpentine circuit) can make a racket that'll make you think it's the timing chain, so check those first.
