What I found with my 94 4-wheel drive pickup; it was not the chain or the guides, but the tensioner. Something is happening to the oil pressure causing the chain to loosen and eat the guide away, not sure but could be the oil pump not keeping the pressure up. Same thing happened to three trucks in my family, Paid once to fix mine then did it myself twice.
