Detailed Description

The Gates CHK106 timing chain kit is engineered for engines that require a complete timing chain component replacement rather than a single wear item. The kit uses steel roller chains with plastic, aluminum, and steel components in the assembly package, and it is built to meet or exceed OE standards in fit, function, and performance. For service work on Jeep Liberty, Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and related applications, the CHK106 provides the timing chain components needed to restore proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization.

This part cross-references Cloyes 9-0393SC for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch or excessive slack
• Noise from worn chain guides or tensioners
• Incorrect valve timing caused by worn timing components
• Rattle or chain instability during engine operation
• Service replacement on high-mileage timing systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation. This kit excludes VVT sprockets and primary sprockets on the listed Jeep and Dodge applications, so confirm the engine’s existing sprocket arrangement before ordering. Follow factory timing marks and service procedures carefully, and inspect related timing components for wear during disassembly. The CHK106 is also listed for 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider timing chain component service.
