Timing chain rattle fixed

Second attempt and my rattle is gone, at least on day 1
Now, so long as it doesn't come back, I might be able to develop the same kind of trust with this 2002 replacement for the 2001 that I have with my 1993....

It's back, quieter than before, but still there. At this point I don't know if I should trade for a Toyota or a 1970 Scout or Bronco....

This is why I got the 3.0 in my 2002 Edge. I don't tow anything so the 3.0 has plenty of power for me. Since I owned two previously ('92 and '97), I know that the 3.0 is a bullet-proof little motor.

None of this makes any sense at all without the previous information.

This seems to be a continuation of the following topic:
[link:www.ford-trucks.com/dcforum/DCForumID116/1668.html|2001-2002 Ranger 4.0L SOHC motor rattle]

It would be nice if you continued your original thread so people knew what you were talking about...

Thanks for using FTE!
