Is it true my engine going is a matter when not if?

UPDATE So long story short the mechanic I took my car to found a broken timing chain guide and said there was no metal shavings in oil. He fixed it, still expensive $1600 due to having to remove engine again. After all of these issues and how dealership handled, lots of gray area (some of which...

Thanks for the good advice. I just went and picked up my Explorer to take to a trusted mechanic. I know if need be he can put in an engine with higher mileage, however he is "leary" of what the dealership is saying because he said these engines are bullet proof. Hoping it is something else. I...

I have the 2011 model, 87,000 miles :)

Also, the price quoted for engine was $7900. Yikes! Spoke with two different mechanics who said $6400, $3500 for one with 50,000 on it.

Sorry, I had only seen the first reply but somehow missed the others until now. The water pump is apparently in a different place starting with the 2011. The price I paid was actually $1392 which was with a "discount." They had to remove the engine to fix pump which was the reason for cost, so...

2011 Explorer 87, 000 miles. So 4 months ago, my water pump went and I paid $1200 to fix. (Long story but back and forth to dealer because in the process they cracked oil pan, but in the end all was good and running well.) Recently engine starting to click and make spinning noise when...

Anyone have issues such as a vibration sound coming from front speakers (seems to only be driver side) when radio (any channel FM or Sirus)? This isn't all of the time, sporadically. I've tried adjusting bass etc. doesn't help. Thanks!

Would that price be less than the price at ford warranty.com? So confusing! How do you like your explorer?
