After my 2002 Dakota with a 4.7 blew a head gasket a few months ago, I've been slowly tearing things down and rebuilding. While I'm at it I'm replacing the timing chains among other things, and since it seems I can only get the 3rd chain if I buy a timing set, that's what I plan on doing. I need some help picking the right one though; on RockAuto several of the more basic kits say "Engines with silent type upper chains only."

So naturally, my question is, what on earth does that mean, and how do I know if that will work with my truck? Do I need to spend the extra $30 and buy the Cloyes set instead of the $118 Enginetech one?
And one other small question; on all the kits that include sprockets, it says something along the lines of "Caution: You must VERIFY your original cam sprocket to the new sprocket to prevent possible CATASTROPHIC FAILURE!" What does it mean 'verify'?
