'don't know for sure but you could check utube

we got the truck back today. It runs goodwe are happy. 'wrecked the first rental car $500 deductable. All together $3700. to fix. Parts are expensive over here.

Let's think positive!!

A word to you folks doing this. If at all possible have the mechanic order the parts. The mechanic wanted me to get the parts, I bought a timing chain kit, it had only one chain, (mine needs three). The parts house won't have the correct one until 5pm monday. I gues this is a "thank Jaeus" moment.

thanks Eddie, I suppose that I can trust him now.

Sent the trruck in for timing chain replacement yseterday. The mechanic had to remove the transmision first! Those of you rthat have done this does the trans have to come out in order the remove the engine? Thanks Ed

Hi SW, Yes it is louder and lasts maybe a second or two. What worries me is that it will give no warning before letting go. You are right I should drop the pan and clean it out! I just change the oil 50 miles ago. Thanks for your help. Ed

people tell me that this timing chain thing is a time bomb. It will go at any time. Cost $2500-$3000 to fix. I thought about putting in a used engine but he says that all 4.0 engines will get this problem. Do you guys think that all will get this? I may as well get rid of the truck!

Thanks guys, Eddie, I have replaced both tensioners more than once. It seemed to maks a VERY small difference in the rattle but not much. Todd, is seems that if I hold the throttle to the floor the computer will shut off the fuel and the engine wil just crank. I crank for 5 seconds, am told that...

Hi folks, I have a loose timing chain so I pump up the oil pressure before I let it fire. So far this seems to work well. However, I want to take a short trip (150 miles) and am wondering if that will put an undue stress on the chain or will things be ok. I realize this is impossiableto say for...

TKS Todd, sounds good

Too many times when I pick up the keys, the horn goes off! Is there a way to turn off the button on the key fob?

TKS guys, going to Walmart tomorrow for oil, will look for alumaseal and or Kseal

Thanks Carl, that can't be shipped to Hawai'i. I'll look around here

Thanks Carl, that is what I was afraid of. What is so small in the cooling system that would be clogged?

The heater core is leaking. I have bypassed it so it is ok but no heat. Sometimes I want to go up the mountain where it gets cold and need heat. I can't afford to remove the dash to get to the core. My question to you is using a stop leak going to gum up the rest of the cooling system? If ok...

The heater core started leaking so I bypassed it. now the fan speed #2 blows the same as #1. Could bypassing the heater core be related to the switch? Thanks Ed

What is a clock spring, and how do I tell if it is bad?
