well the truck is a 98 half ton two wheel drive auto with the 5.7 started it up yest and immediately the check engine light came on and the truck was running like crap so i limped it over to my mechanics house. His scanner pulled a p1345 so we went into town and i bought a brand new distributor and crank position sensor we got them in and its been running a lot better but still throwing the code and missing every once in a while. i didn't know at the time you have to set the timing using his scanner so we'll get to that this weekend to. anyways when he we pulled the old crank sensor it was beat up a little on the back side and he told me that it looks like i need a timing chain. Ive looked at summit and jegs and honestly just dont know which one is the right one for my truck. when i type in everything it pulls up several different ones and i just want the stock one. sorry this is so long but i know you experienced guys need some background in order to help anyone.
