The 5.6L V8 engine of the 2008 Nissan Titan is driven by a timing chain. This remains the same on all model years since 2003. While there exist both advantages and disadvantages to each of the timing belt and timing chain, most automotive experts agree that Your configuration is superior. Timing chains typically last for 250,000 to 300,000 miles -- it's likely that the rest of Your Titan will fail before the timing chain does. It doesn't necessitate routine replacement like a belt does, which needs to be swapped every 75,000 to 100,000 miles to account for routine wear and tear. However, if Your chain does fail, You'll be looking at a repair bill of upwards of $3,000, so be sure to take good care of Your engine with regular tune ups and fluid changes.
