2001 Ranger XLT timing chain?

[Dw4402]

Greetings, just joined the forum. I just purchased a 2001 Ranger XLT (will post pics soon). It broke a front timing chain guide but still runs, so I got it at a good price. Trying to decide if I should pull the motor and replace all chains and guides or take a chance and just replace the front while the motor is in the truck. Motor has 181k but was well taken care of. Thanks for any helpful feedback.

Welcome! I moved your post and added to the title to help get you some info.
Can you tell us which engine you have?

Little more info what engine

Sounds like a shoc 4.0 if so yes pull the engine and do all the timing components

^^^Yes What Donalds said.^^^ 181k is quite good.
