    Timing chain broke! Help!

    I have a 2003 v6 4.0 SOHC 4x4 and I had the timing chain break at 60,000 miles. However, it didn't die. It just ran really bad until I pulled over and turned it off. When they put it on the computer, I had no pressure in bank 4. I'm no mechanic, but about 2 months later they had it fixed. I...

    2002 Transmission bands

    I had the same exact problem, I had 1st, 2nd, no 3rd, but I had 4th. I had just over 110,000 miles on it. I took it to the dealership, because their mechanics work on all of the vehicles at my work(fedex). They said it sounded like it had some worn bands. They took it apart and done pretty much...

    What do you think???

    I have a set of ikon gt5 rims that i bought for my maxima, but now that i sold my max, they have sat in the garage for the past 2 years. i have questioned wether i could put them on my explorer or not, being it is a heaver truck rather than a slightly lighter car. plus whether mud tires would...

    Its FINALLY FIXED

    well they only changed out the maf sensor, 2 oxygen sensors, and the throttle positioning sensor. i dont know which was faulty. no, the timing chain wasnt caused by the sensor. the chain was the original cause of everything.

    Problem so confusing, ford delearship cant figure it out

    yeah i am glad that i can take my truck there and not have to worry about being charged for useless work. i guess i probably should have mentioned that this delearship also services all of the fedex vehicles at my work.. i was able to get to know them before my truck started messing up...
