    Question? gear set

    Does anyone make a gear set to replace the timeing chain and tensioners on the SOHC engine? I remember when I had my K1500 Chevy Truck you could get gear sets to replace the timeing belt. They added a lot of sound to the engine but they didn't break. Just a curiosity question. David

    Hello all, here is question #2. I have an intermittent grinding sound coming from the front end of my Explorer (2000 XLT). It happens only when I brake at slow speeds, but only sometimes. It sounds just like a worn out brake pad getting into the rotor but I have replaced the pads twice...
