You should have ZERO chain stretch at 24,000 miles.

Have you done a diesel purge yet? Also, have you checked for an air leak? Fuel lines will still dry rot over the years.

My car has about 4 degrees of chainstretch at 237,000 miles. I'll be replacing the chain at 250,000 instead of using a woodruff key.
