- 2006 Explorer EB 4.6l
I have a 06 eb v8. Just wondering considering all the vvt issues these modular engines have, such as phasers, tensioners, guides, solenoids etc. How reliable are these 3v engines realistically. Mine has about 185k on it right now. Timing has never been done. No ticks or anything like that. I of course have the exhaust manifold leak like everyone does. So I'm just wondering if anyone has had their explorer 4.6 over 200k? Or 300k? This is my first car and I don't exactly have alot of money so I'd rather not have a random catastrophic engine failure and be without a vehicle. What kinds of issues have you guys had or seen? Id like to keep this truck until at least 250k Thanks!
