Those late model Magnum timing chain tensioners......

Yes, there stock on the Magnum engines. I just replaced the timing gear set and timing chain tensioner on my Dakotas V6 w/175,000 on it. I'm at approx. 187,000 now. Easy to do.

My magnum didn't have one, and even with a new chain my idle timing was all over the place until I did the lock collar trick on the distributor shaft.

What's the lock collar trick? Don' t want to hijack this thread, can you just provide a link?
