[QUOTE="JC2008SportTrac, post: 1043498, member: 75816"] I only know about the 4.0 V-6 what my mechanic has told me about it, and he said it's a throw-away engine (meaning, not worth rebuilding). The reason is the timing chains all over it (have some front and back, making it a really expensive motor to rebuild). Don't want to tell ya what to do, but if it's still running, I'd suggest driving it to a stealership, and allow them to over-pay for a trade in right now. I know I won't be re-building my '06 Explorer 4X4 limited. It's just not worth it, as they want 5-8K just for the motor. My '08 ST, I'll probably keep around, but ONLY because it's got the V-8. I've already dropped $800 in it, just on the tune-up. But the 4.0 V-6 is a VERY expensive motor to work on, because of the location of the timing chains. [/QUOTE]
