I guess the people that do your oil changes and mechanic work don't know what they're doing , I don't let anybody touch my vehicles if I can help it .

Go get a second or 3rd opinion. Could be something as simple as cleaning the throttle body, which gunk up easily on our platform. I call BS on needing a timing chain. Our timing chain on the I6 engine is bullet proof, unless you're one of the 1%er's. There's a ton of us that have 250k-300k+ miles with never touching the chain.
