Does the 2011 Jeep grand Cherokee have a timing belt or chain?

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is driven by a timing chain in all configurations. This is good news in that You don't need to replace it at regular intervals like a timing belt, but it is bad news because if it does fall into a state of disrepair needing to be changed, it'll likely cost You a great deal more -- potentially up to the neighborhood of $3,000. Now, I don't mean to scare You. Typically, a timing chain will last upwards of 250,000 miles, or the lifetime of the vehicle. There's a better chance that the rest of Your Grand Cherokee will fall apart before the timing chain does. Still, proper maintenance (like fluid changes) are urged, because failure can set You back a significant sum.
