Yea but I would have to source all the electronics for the B44. At least, from what I have been reading about VANOS, is that the solenoids are the main culprit a lot of times. I'm just trying to get this truck back on the road and not kill my bank account in the process.

I'm thinking about just replacing the timing chain system and some VANOS parts and seeing where that gets me. Hopefully that fixes a majority of the issues.

I'm making an educated guess, I would imagine a loose chain/old tensioner can cause the engine to run like poo because the timing would be inconsistent. Correct assumption?
