Hi all.
I am new to the board, but not a new Explorer owner - recently aquired #3 - 1999 XLT 4.0 SOHC. A friend started experiencing the front engine rattle noise (timing chain tensioner grenading) and now its mine. Timing chains are still in place and truck runs, but noisy. I am considering replacing the front cam tensioner only to fix the problem. Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jmedina827
