I'm not sure how to figure out if my listed above 1500 has a timing belt or timing chain. Do you know?

Hello,
Your vehicle is equipped with a timing chain.
The timing chain is not a maintenance item like the timing belt. However, it is recommended to replace if there is excessive play in the chain.
I have attached the guidelines of the how to check for excessive play in the chain.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
