Recently a timing chain/dieseling noise has returned to my Explorer (it went away after it had an 00M12 kit fitted). I can't quite remember if the current noise is exactly like the previous one, as it was some time ago. The noise is louder when in gear than it is park, due to the higher idle; it also rattles under load 2500 rpm +.
Just wondering if having a new front tensioner fitted would solve this problem (it seems to be suggested that these be replaced every 75,000 miles), and or possibly the rear tensioner as i believe this to be the orginial one.
