Love my mountaineer. We're having some cold weather down here in Texas, and it has developed a chirping sound at idle. No code or anything, just a pretty loud chirp. Did some reading, and seems like it's a common issue relating the the camshaft position sensor. My question is...
Do i just need the sensor, or should i get the synchronizer, the sensor, and the alignment tool as well? I think this runs the oil pump, so I don't want to screw this up. Really hoping to get the Mounty to 300k!
Thanks for any help or advice.
