ticking

I have a 2007 sport trac 4.6L 145K miles I know that the other triton engines (the 4.6L is essentially a baby triton) have phaser knock etc. that happens around 150k miles. The sound is towards the back on the driver side, and toward the front on the passenger side. I don't hear it at startup...

Hello! I have a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0 with 4x4. It only has 94k miles, but I suppose that doesn't make it immune to time. The easiest way to describe it is that it sounds like a tractor or a TDI diesel. The ticking is pretty regular once warmed up. It runs absolutely fine, with no...

I'm new to the forum and wanted to say Hello and also am curious about the problem I'm noticing on our 2017 Explorer XLT. When turning the steering wheel, I hear a ticking / clicking noise that sounds like maybe a clockspring issue in the steering column. I'm curious if anyone else has had a...

08 4.6 with 136k on it. I got it with 60k and it has been religiously maintained in all aspects. Oil & filter every 4-6K with synthetic oil. Today on a 90 mile trip I noticed part way into the trip as I was accelerating on an on-ramp, I heard a faint ticking. The ticking is not there at ANY...

So I pulled my 4.0 replaced the timing chains, oil pump, water pump & the passenger side head. I had to replace the head because it developed a crack and started sucking coolant. The truck has 215k miles on it so I decided to pull the engine and replace the head & timing chains.. It's a good...

Hi my name is Joel, I am a new member of this forum and just purchase a used 1996 Explorer 5.0 AWD. It has low miles for the year, 105,000, and is in extreamly good condition. My problem with the Explorer is when I start it it has a slight ticking noise that goes away when the car warms up, but...

I have a 92 ford explorer v6 4x4 5 speed. I did a oil change to it a couple weeks ago and it started making a "knocking noise" so I decided to go till next oil change and open up the filter which had no metal nor did the oil have any that I could notice. It only makes its peak loudness at 900...

So I bought a 2004 Explorer 4.0 SOHC 2WD not too long ago, it had the check engine light come on not too long after, had the codes ran a P0193. but I had ignored it a couple days. After a couple days, my battery was dead and after it not holding a charge overnight, went and bought a new battery...

Bubbling has been happening for about a week, finally overheated. Started to replace thermostat but one of the bolt holes is stripped. Going to buy a tap and die set and try that out for the first time (kinda nervous) Hoping it ends up being the thermostat but would like some thoughts on it...

My 4.0 OHV has a leaking valve cover gasket and while its all torn apart replacing that, is there anything worth replacing while Im at it? Im sitting at 184k miles currently and the only other engine problem possibly is a tick, some times almost slapping sound that comes and goes. Id assume that...

I bought a 2000 Explorer XLS 4.0 today. It died before I made it home. It was slow to accelerate at first, and ran and idled a little rough. I've owned nothing but sports cars my whole life and assumed the slow acceleration was normal for a larger vehicle, and didn't think much of the rough...

I have an 04' Ford Explorer 4dr XLT 4WD with 150K miles. Recently, there is a loud ticking noise coming from around the engine when I start the vehicle. It only lasts for about a minute or two, and then goes away and doesn't come back until after it has been started up again after being off...

Hey there! First off, let me start by saying that I am so proud of where ExplorerForum has come! The website looks great, and the community is bigger, better, and more active than ever! Let's begin... For a long time now, I have had an oil leak. I would put 2 quarts of 5W-30 in, and about 3...

Hello everyone. My 2006 explorer 4.6 v8 has a ticking sound coming from the engine. Im currently deployed and trying to help my wife pin point the spot. Im not 100% sure if its a lifter, exhaust leak or what it could be. I know it has gotten louder over the past 3 months and i think the sound...

Hello gents! I appear to have a lot of engine noise in my V8 '98 Explorer when I push on the accelerator. At idle or cruising speed it's a chugging & ticking sound but the moment you step on the gas it sounds terrible. Any thoughts as to what could be going on? I just replaced the AC unit so...

Yesterday my explorer started making a noise. The noise seems to be coming from the front driver side wheel area. The noise is more noticeable when accelerating while turning and gets softer when the wheel is straightened while driving. I've looked all over the wheel area and don't see anything...

Firstly, hello everybody! I've been lurking around these forums for a few years now, finding little tidbits of advice as I needed them. I've done my fair share of repairs based on the knowledge that I've found here, but it now seems that I have an issue that I can't find a clear answer to. So...

I started to notice the ticking noise on my way to work about two days ago. Everytime I would accelerate I would here a constantly ticking, like a belt, until I took my foot off the accelerator and the sound would go away. I didn't think anything of it at first but it sounds unusual since I...

In my 1993 Ford Explorer I noticed this over the summer last year, and it went away during the winter. Now that it's above freezing it does it again. In idle it will rev from under 1000 rpms to about 1500-2000 every 10 seconds or so. When I looked underneath the hood the one main belt you can...

My check engine light has been on for a couple of months, and today I finally decided to check if anything obviously wrong was going on under the hood. With the engine off and the key out of the ignition I hear a steady ticking noise, that tocks too, similar to a clocks second-timing. It...
