Hey you lot, I am a proud owner of a 2000 4.0 SOHC Limited Edition Ford Explorer as of yesterday. I have previously owned a 2002 Eddie Bauer 4.6 V6 when I lived in the States for a few months.

Unsurprisingly, I bought my SUV with a rattling timing chain (SOHC engine exclusive) but with only 120 thousand miles on it, which seems nice considering my Eddie Bauer had something around 280 on it.

What are your guys' thoughts on this particular model and maybe you even have a recommendation for a timing chain and tensioner kit to buy for this particular engine?

Am doing so, trying to decide between buying a Cloyes kit from them or getting the parts from Ford. Any tips?

Is there a big price difference? How much is shipping? Do a search online for their 5% off coupon code.

I'm trying to figure out if I got the full kit in my card at Ford right now, if I do, the price difference is only around 50 bucks. Shipping will + other tax will add at least another 100 on top. Here's what I've got in the cart at the moment:
4L2Z-6M290-AA
F77Z-6268-BC
F77Z-6268-AB
7U3Z-6A257-A
F77Z-6K297-BC
1L2Z-6L266-AA
YL2Z-6L266-AA
2L2Z-6K297-AA

Anything missing? 4 chains, 2 tensioners and 2 guides

2000StreetRod has a thread on replacing these parts. He might have a list of part numbers in that thread.
