    towing with 99 V8 AWD

    4.0L Rattle? Hi all, new to the site. Have a problem with my 2002 XLS with the 4.0L sohc. a couple of months ago I had what I thought was a stuck lifter, I know now that there are no lifters but "lash adjusters", anyway I changed the oil and after 30 minutes or so the noise went away. Now the...
