Detailed Description

Gates CHK193 is an engine timing chain kit from the Timing Chain Component Kits line, engineered for timing drive applications where chain stretch, sprocket wear, or timing instability can affect engine operation. The kit includes a timing chain and two sprockets, with steel construction used for the chain and camshaft sprocket. Gates applies its timing drive systems experience to replacement parts that meet or exceed OE standards in function, fit, and performance. The CHK193 part number is useful when verifying the correct timing chain kit for Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, and other listed Dodge applications.

This part cross-references Cloyes C-3028 and Dayco KTC1448 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn timing chain that can cause timing variation
• Addressing sprocket wear in the engine timing drive
• Restoring proper valve timing synchronization
• Servicing noisy or stretched timing drive components
• Supporting repair of timing-related drivability concerns

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application by year, make, model, and timing drive configuration before ordering. This kit does not include chain guides or a tensioner, so inspect those components during service and replace them if wear is present. Confirm sprocket alignment and timing marks during installation to maintain correct engine timing.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a global supplier of timing drive systems in both original equipment and replacement markets. This timing chain kit is built to meet or exceed OE standards in function, fit, and performance.
