V10
I have an 01 Ram 3500 V10, with 206k miles. I was thinking about changing the timing chain, and maybe the oil pump while I was at it. I don't know what kind of oem chain and gears it has, but I was assuming they are one of those "silent" type sets. You know, either nylon coated cam sprocket, or those chains that stretch. So I was thinking of a double roller timing chain set. Now Summit sells a Cloyes for the V10, but it's like $220! Is that just the Viper "tax", or is it a total one-off? Since the V10 is supposed to be 360 small block + 2 cylinders, could you just use a double roller for 360 for $50? I've tried searching the forums, but haven't found anything about it.

while I am not sure if you could use the double roller for the 360, you should post this in the 2nd gen engine and performance section. I'm sure Merc and dd have some answers for you. best of luck!

Try cross referencing the part numbers for v10 chains you find with the 360 chains.

I'm fairly sure you can but i wouldn't just take my word for it.
Check the mopar pn too
