03 sport trac xlt 4x4
I have a 03 spor trac with 4.0 V6 engine . I bought it brand new and have almost 200k miles on it and it has developed a death rattle that I believe is coming from the rear timing chain. Considering the engine has to be removed to service this and the mileage on it I am considering a reman engine. Can anyone advise me on what vendor they have used and their opinion/experiences ? I've looked at ATK , powertrain products inc and powertrain company.

I'd be interested in this also... I'm at 210K and when/if it pops I am not fixing the chain but will just install a long block. I wouldn't mind a used motor but hate taking chances with stuff that requires large labor outputs...

I ended up buying a re-man from Ford . Was $2600 plus tax. 3 year unlimited mileage wtty. Comes as a long block with oil pan,valve covers, front cover, water pump and water neck with the sensors. Even come with oil ,filter and spark plugs. I picked it up yesterday.
 






Bart03st that's pretty good mileage on the 4.0. What was your service interval for oil changes.
