The 2000 Nissan Frontier has a timing chain for its 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine and a timing belt for the 3.3 L V6 engine. The timing belt is situated externally on the engine, while the timing chain is internal. It is recommended to replace the timing belt every 105,000 miles, which may cost between $380 to $510 in labor fees plus parts. On the other hand, you should periodically inspect the timing chain every 150,000 miles to catch any potential issues. While the chain is designed to last the vehicle's lifetime, there is still a possibility of it malfunctioning.
