no,not neccessarily....okay i had 2 trucks already.my first one was a '91 and had roughly 160,000 miles at death and had the same symptons as the subject truck but my dad kept telling me it wasn't my timing chain because at the time his '92 had more miles on it and wasn't ticking,idling weird or overheating.then my truck's 22re went with a burnt valvetrain,warped head,it was a mess.
basically what my mechanics were telling me was that changing your timing chain at 150,000 is basically prevententive maintenance for the motor.a lot of people's trucks are gifted and don't need it but it will go out and when it does don't expect it to be a cheap fix.it's kind of like changing your oil at 2,500 when a lot of cars can go nearly 5,000 w/o changing.
