03 XLT
just trying to see if i can get some quick help from you guys .. i am going to go look at a 03 XLT tomorrow to purchase, but he told me that it needed the tensioners changed (death rattle i do believe) .. he said something about the rear ones too needed to be changed? as well as the front?

he said they had to pull the motor out of the truck to do the job..

should i be weary on this truck not to purchase it??

i don't wanna buy it and then 2k miles later have serious engine problems.. little bit nervous here... i know this problem is very common on the SOHC motors, so should i not be worried??

any help would be appreciated ... thanks!
 






Are you sure he's not talking about wheel bearings? I'd look it over and if you have any doubts, walk away and find a V8:D
 






Which engine?
 






trust me .. i want the v8..

its the 4.0
