The computer controls the timing. It will move it where it wants.

The timing on a 1989 Dodge truck should be set to 10* after unplugging the temperature sensor.
No, all truck engines have timing chains.

Timing on this truck is at top dead center for both manual and automatic transmissions. If it is an original California truck with all the smog devises time it at 4 degrees before top dead center.

The timing specifications for an 86 Dodge truck can be found in the trucks service manual. The book might be available through the library, or it can be bought through most any auto parts.
The timing is 2 degrees before top dead center for a stock 400 cid. At least, that is what it indicates on my valve cover. My truck is a 1977 W200 with a stock 400 cid engine. Because of changes in the composition of today's gas, over what is used to be when that label was glued to my valve cover in 1977, many have suggested that it would run better if the timing were advanced a few degrees. Others have said that the carb should be recalibrated as well. Hope that helps.
It is not timed with a timing light. It is set to 0 deg with a scan tool.
