    Oil Delivery - Timing Chain Adjusters

    2001 4.0 Yep another one, but more directed at oil delivery inquiry. Dealing with dreaded timing chain noise (driver side top, close to the adjuster). Possible oil delivery issue? Full timing chains sets (chains, guides, adjusters, etc) replaced about 1.5 yrs ago. Engine was notably clean when...

    Lacks Power

    2001, 4.0 lacks power on acceleration. Feels like no spark advance. On highway, kicks down a gear, but has little additional power. Speed and rpm will increase, but much slower than normal. Otherwise runs great. Any advice?

    2001 SOHC Lifter/lash Adjuster Replacement

    Can the valve lifter/lash adjusters in a SOHC 2001 4.0 be replaced without removing the cam? I see many posts about the engine with pushrods, but not SOHC.

    Timing chain set replaced, new rattle

    2001 4.0 Had timing chains replaced - complete set. Now, about three weeks later there is a rattle from the driver side isolated at valve cover above the 2nd spark plug from the front. Used a wooden rod-to-ear to isolate the source area. Rattle is louder at idle and almost non audible with...

    Adding Subwoofer

    I'm thinking of adding subwoofer to my 2001 Explorer XLT (not Sport Trac). Not looking to rattle any windows, just create a more full sound. Since this was built without a subwoofer from factory, looking for any ideas and thoughts of adding the setup ( box location, speaker, amp, wiring...

    Transmission Dipstick Tube (Lower)

    Have 2001, 4.0L and working through a transmission leak. Decided to start easy and replace the dipstick o-ring. However, noticed the dipstick tube is actually two pieces. The upper piece is what one would expect, but this fits into a lower tube (about 6-7 inches long) that leads into the...

    Sticky Paint

    About a month ago I painted the roof of my 2001 Explorer XLT due to the common/notable paint fade. Now I noticed the rain channels that runs the length of the roof that's about 1-2 inches above the doors on both sides are sticky. All other parts of the roof that was painted is fine (not sticky)...

    AC/Heat Vacuum Lines

    Can someone help identify and tell me how these are to be connected? The red one has intake vacuum and the white one I "think" is for the heater control flow valve (which I do not have). If I pull vacuum on the white one, I get air distribution selection (defrost, registers, floor, etc). Also...

    Oil Pan

    I am trying to remove the upper oil pan on 2001 XLT with 4.0 V6 2WD. I have removed the lower pan, all of the perimeter bolts, the 8 bolts that go into the mains, the 2 transmission bolts in the rear, and oil pump screen. The upper pan is very stubborn and solidly attached to the block. Tried...
