Recently the timing chain on my explorer broke , I was very sad seeing as I only had the truck for 8 months. I just want to know what could have caused it to break (or slip, not sure what it did :/).
I have a friend telling me that he thinks off roading may have caused it... I'm not sure if I can buy that. It happened right when I turned on my car and I reved it to 5500 RPM.
Just want to know what your opinions are on what could have caused it, I had gotten an oil change in January and went pretty hard offroading right before that. I noticed the timing rattle (didn't know what it was at the time) about 2-3 weeks after the oil change.
