- 2002 Eddie Bauer V6 4WD
I have a 2002 V6 4.0L Eddie Bauer with 62,000 miles that I've owned since new. The timing chain rattle that sounds like engine knocking and only happens at certain RPM range and load has been with the truck for a very long time, I would say since the day we got it but my memory fails me.
Since I switch to Dead Link Removed motor oil the chain rattle has been almost nonexistent. It still happens occasionally but far less frequently than it did and with less volume when it does. I previously had been running a group II+ conventional (mineral) but good quality 5W-30 oil. I was not expecting this effect from a motor oil, but it certainly is a welcome one!
