- 2004 Ford Explorer XLT
So my 2004 ford explorer (4.0L SOHC V6) crapped out on me. Mechanic diagnosed either a jumped timing chain or broken timing chain.
Funny thing was it was working flawlessly when I parked the explorer at Homedepot, and a few minutes later I came back to start it up that's when it refused to start.
Fuel, Spark, and electrical checked out. There's no codes being thrown out.
I just got a couple dumb questions
When they rebuild the engine do they have to remove the ATF Fluid?
Do I also need to replace the coolant?
I already got the parts for the rebuild, new timing chain kit, and gaskets. I might as well replace some worn out parts while the engine is out. If the pistons, valves, and head is damaged I will have them replace that as well.
Hopefully there is no damage since it was running flawlessly with no obvious fault before it crapped out.
