2010 ford ranger 4.0 4 wheel drive timing chains Sign In

I have a ranger with just under 90k on the odometer , recently I heard about the cam timing chains replacement at 100k and how the motor has to come out to replace them . Should I have it done at the 100K mark or let it ride as it is a bit of a major operation that depends on a good mechanic . . What do you think ? thanks

I don't know where you are reading that but Ford has no recommended interval for timing chain replacement. In fact I have never heard of anyone replacing a timing chain as maintenance. Even belts go longer than 100K these days.

I was watching " Uncle Tonys garage " He was talking about the over head cam timing chains and how the motor had to come out for the one side . If you say it's not an issue then that's good enough for me . Worry's a waste of time . Thanks again

Keep up with oil changes and you should see 200K
