Well now, my 2002 4.0 had a bit of a timing chain rattle on start up after a short trip the day before. 109K miles when I bought it. The noise lasted maybe 1 second. Now at 141K miles the time is just a bit longer but not close to two seconds. It is however, sometimes louder.
My question is, those of you who have had failure or known of failure, how bad was the rattle before it failed? It will be tough foe me to find $1500. for a fix.
If the truck has lasted 9 years so far, shall I take the chance it will last 'till the Lord comes back?
