Well ...a little over 307,000 miles on my 4.0L SOHC and I've gotten the infamous start-up chain rattle.

[QUOTE="Ed Fenwick, post: 1042829, member: 67359"] Aloha guys, I have been led to understand that these engines are not the valve hit the pistons kind. If the chain breaks, tow it home. I changed my hydraulic tensioners several times, cheep one's expensive ones Ford ones, no help. I spent $4500 having chains replaced ( also water pump and some other things while it was out). That said, it still rattles on cold start-up! Poor design but I still like the truck. Enjoy fixing it. Ed [/QUOTE]
