I don't know but I imagine you might start getting some random misfire codes before a chain completely fails. I would think that would be pretty specific to the engine. On the LY7 most people get camshaft position sensor codes as a symptom of a stretched chain.
Yes, I do have the 3.5. When the chain on your '99' failed did it give you any warning or did it just fail? I'm not sure I want to put any more $$ into my '99' and I'm thinking of getting something else.
