- 1999 Explorer XLT 4wd
I just sold my 1999 XLT with the SOHC, as reading the forums led me to believe I was driving a ticking (rattling) time bomb with the timing chain.
Sold to a mechanic friend, who can do his own work.
I want another Explorer, but can't decide what...
I loved the 4x4 of the 1999 I had, and was thinking of an XLS -
which I believe comes with the hopefully more durable OHV engine.
I'd like a 2002-2003, but those only came with the same SOHC engine,
and I'm assuming the same timing chain issues?
Manual trans is preferred, but that's a needle in a haystack...
Just looking for thoughts - as I want to get back on here!!
