3.1

Does the 2001 3.1 have a chain or belt? and if it has a chain at what mileage should it be changed...

3.1 What? The only 2001 Jeep I'm aware of with a 3.1L engine is the Export only WJ Grand Cherokee VM Motori 3.1L I5 (531 OHV) Diesel which has timing gears (no belt or chain).

Thanks for the info,
Okay more info I have a 2001 Grand cherokee limited 3.1 (diesel) auto.
Being clueless about the wagon is it better with the gear system or more prone to go wrong?
Cheers.
