2008-2010 any timing chain issues 4.0

[rfannie]

Hi folks. Just wondering if anyone is having timing chain issues with your 2008-2010 (4.0). I have a 2010 mountaineer 4.0 with 68,000 miles in mint condition. No issues. Service every 4-5,000 miles. Just wondering if the timing issues was resolved or does it still effect's the latter 4.0 Thank you

212,000 on my 2007 4.0. Purchased it with 150,000 on it. No issues other than sway bar links, wheel bearings and an axle seal. I don't know if the previous owner ever had the timing chains replaced, but she's been truckin along smoothly.

Is there a known mileage they fail around or is it just rolling the dice?

Roll of the dice

Mine went out at 120,000, 2009 model, I replaced it with a 2010, with 100,000, almost a year and still running great, I couldn't find anyone to repair original engine

Will Amsoil or other help extend life of guides?
Will Amsoil transmission fluid extend the life of the Ford Sport Trac transmission?

Would changing to Amsoil help extend the life of guides or anything else help?
Would Amsoil transmission fluid be worth the change, extend the life?
