Default Timing chain

From past experience, I know that some Fords require changing the timing chain once the vehicle passes 90K miles. Does that hold true for a Mustang GT '06 model year? I have almost 87K on my ride and I would like to know. By the way, these were, and are, great 87K miles!!

Doing the timing chains is a pretty big job. When you decide to take the plunge I recommend you get this kit from Ford Racing. Comes with everything you need including new Cam Phasers and Phaser Bolts (old picture when I bought the kit it did not include the phaser bolts) Part number, M-6004-463V

Used this kit when I built my forged motor:
