[QUOTE="Ed Fenwick, post: 1048839, member: 67359"] rw, I have a 2002 that I bought with 109K miles. Right away it started ticking on cold start. Eventually, it became a LOUD clatter. I spent $4500. having the timing chains, guides, and some smaller items replaced about 140K miles. Worked great for a couple of months then the clatter started again. The mechanic offered no warranty and blamed it on the lifters. My bad for not checking on the warranty. 'can't afford another engine so I prime the oil system in the mornings. Interesting to note that if I drive 6 or 7 miles there is no need to prime the system the next day! So I say don't count on the 2002s having the timing chain issue cured. hope you had a Merry Christmass God Bless Ed [/QUOTE]
