Cloyes 9-5640 timing chain tensioner guide for the 2011-2013 Ram 1500 V8 4.7L and other vehicles guides the timing chain and keeps tension on it. The chain rides along it between the crankshaft and camshaft, which helps hold alignment and timing.
Listed in some catalogs as an engine timing chain tensioner guide, it can wear and show up as a rattle from the front of the engine. Other timing parts could make that noise too, so have the chain, tensioner and sprockets inspected with the timing cover off. During timing service, replace the chain, tensioners, guides and sprockets together.
