Hello all. I have 2020 1500 with less than 210k miles. I bought it from the original owner late 2024. They had recently performed a factory transmission replacement that was still covered by Dodge at about 184k miles. The engine is original. The Car fax report shows a good amount of services for maintenance but nothing major besides the transmission.

I read online that this van comes with a timing chain so replacement isn't necessary for maintenance and that the water pump should only be replaced when defective. Is this true?

Besides the obvious (tune up, oil changes, coolant, tires, brakes,), is there any parts I should inspect or services that I should consider before taking it on big trips? I want to take on my first road trip this year and make it a regular thing. I am familiar with up keeping my vehicles, I'm more so wondering if there is anything specific to this year, make, or model that I should consider.

I just bought this van 2 weeks ago. I have already started converting it to live in. On the left side looking into the triangular shaped holes I am getting water inside when driving in the rain. It's dry while raining and sitting but gets wet while driving. I've looked at all the rubber plugs underneath and they are all in place. Any suggestions how this water is getting in? I'm not seeing anything obvious.
