Good to hear, I am just away from my truck and have nothing better to do than worry about what repairs to do to it....
I have a valve job due when I get home so I'll give the timing chain and guides an inspection....I am still banking on my noise being my throw-out bearing....

A few points of reference:
My chain went at approximately 125k
Got it all replaced and a valve job for $900 at a trusted non dealership mechanic but that pricing is 10 years old
Got the same story about not worrying about it til "you hear some slapping, especially under load" But that was the tricky part. Mine made noise for about 3 days before it went, but it sounded like a tap or snap like a spark plug wire that was disconnected, not like a slapping sound. Sooo... I didn't pick up on it til too late.
4x4nala, I have purchased a head gasket and bolt kit from engbldr and it was top notch. If you're going to be in deep enough for a valve job, I would spend the $64 and do the chain as well just for the peace of mind.
