Hopefully from these shots you can see how one side has slack. The other is still pretty taught. Is this a stretched chain and need replacing?

Pictures won't show up for me. maybe it's my computer. One side will always look tighter than the other side because it's pulling.
If it's got 50,000 miles on it, it's starting to wear a bit. If it has 100,000 it's getting a bit sloppy. 150,000 it's starting to cost money in fuel for sure.. 200,000 or more you're playing with fire.

Hahah guess I need to break out the fire extinguisher. It definitely can drink some gas.

Is this the correct timing chain and gears?

If you hit check application on that page it says 84 to 92. I don't know why 93-up would be different, but better order the one that says it fits your truck.
