Good job bro! Perfect video! #coffee #lol

What did the trucksound like before you changed them

Timing chain guide that's the rattle

Thank you. What size is the key?

I know the video is old but I seen you responded to somebody just 3 weeks ago. Do you have to put the engine to top dead center before removing the old tensioners? Thanks for any information

Thanks Brother for this video 💯👍

I know you made this a while ago but shouldn't you per fill tensioner before you installed it ❓

Do i need to change both tensioners changing just one will mess it up my truck?

You don’t have to make sure timing is good? Would doing this repair mess timing up?

2001 4.0 on my explorer sport. During a cold start the chains make noise for 1 or 2 seconds max and then are completely quiet after that both when idling and driving at any RPM. Even if the engine is turned off after completely warming up and then turned back on 1 or 2 hours later the chains won’t rattle when started back up… I replaced both tensioners using OEM ford parts and this made no difference in getting rid of the 2 seconds of cold startup rattle that was present before replacing both tensioners and the reason I replaced them in the first place. When I removed the old tensioners they both seemed to still have good resistance when trying to compress them compared to the new ones which indicates the old ones were “probably” still ok. Again, after those brief 2 seconds of rattle when started up when the engines is completely cold (ie been sitting for more than a few hours) it’s quiet and it never rattles or makes noise any other time. One other thing to note is that if I do the flooded crank start method before starting it when cold, it will NOT make the 1 or 2 second rattle. (I will hold the gas pedal to the floor and turn and hold the key to crank the engine but not turn it over until after about 10 seconds and when I see the oil pressure gauge move to the middle, I let go of the gas pedal and start it) If I cold start it using this method it will NOT make the 1 or 2 seconds of startup rattle. Is this my guides that are broken or is this normal to have a second or two of rattle when the engine is completely cold to build oil pressure and have it get to the tensioners so they tighten up to hold the chain? I’ve had this vehicle for a little over a month now and the symptom has stayed exactly same even after replacing the tensioners and changing the oil using high mileage oil and Motorcraft filter. I just want to know if this is normal or if it’s not and I should get rid of the vehicle if a larger problem is imminent.

One more... These guys are wanting to charge me $2,000 up to 3,000 does that sound about right or are they trying to over charge me?

I have a 1999 Ford explorer I've been tell that I need to replace my is that what you're doing on this video replacing the timing chain I heard you call it something like replacing the tension what's the difference?

Whoever owned mine before broke off a screw on the thermostat housing!!!

Woooohoooo i got the 27 mm deep socket and it didnt fit, and u somehow did it, now Making a 3rd trip to the hardware store

Hi John, well done, thanks for taking the time to put this video up, yup disconnect the battery. Blue Mule

I don't think you're a Chevy man. I called myself a Pittsburgh Pirate fan for life, because my family is from Pittsburgh PA. Growing up I fallowed the Pirates and had been to many games, but not the last 30 years. I went to a double header a few years ago when the Pirates played the Rangers. It was eye opening when I realized that I knew the entire Ranger lineup, but I didn't know a single Pirate. My point is your a Ford man...lol

aye man could you do it for me id mess up probably

I replaced mine but there was no tension getting it to thread in. I have more rattle than I did before. What did I do wrong?

You're talking reliability like mine hasn't 100% resorted to cannibalism.... I don't think even the Vin is OEM anymore, and the gas currently in the tank came from a 1998 explorer.... I think mine used to be '00 and for the most part, the parts fit right so far, but I also got interceptor hinges on one door, which doesn't quite fit right, and a back gate that definitely came from another vehicle all together.. I wonder what year it once was

Love it ! thank you for sharing ! (SUBSCRIBED)

nice song

Thanks so much. 🙏You really just helped me out! Cool accent 👍 North Carolina? Florida here 🌞

Great video John. I have 262500 on my 03. It makes that rattle that yours did right at the end of the video but only on a cold start after it sits overnight. My question is, does changing the tensioners eliminate that completely, even at the cold start? Thanks ahead of time, Steve.

Also, I wish you had a recording of the noise BEFORE the fix. Don’t you?

Very good video, John! One question: normally how often (in miles) do we need to replace the tensioner please? I know you mentioned your car’s mileage but I don’t know if you have done it before on the same car. Thanks!

Tighten it to hell.now that is F%!ing tight

Very helpful bro not gonna lie thank you

Hi do I have to replaced the volume reduction plug next to it? On the top right tentioner

Mine lower one leaks after installation.. it was perfect the other day no rattle the next morning all the oil was on the ground .. hurts my heart

Great video

Hey Harmony Grove, just got a Sport Trac with 245k on it from my good friend. I want to change these as preventative maintenance so I don't have to do timing chains and guides too soon, would this make sense to do as a preventative step? Thanks for taking the time to read this if you do.

I’m about to replace the left one and realized oh shot that’s the cause of my leak. Lovely

Awsome video smooth!!! Easy detail thanks.hittibg the job asap..thankz

I got a mustang v6 with the same engine. I got 100k miles, do you think I should change my tensioner?

Thanks for the video! Quick question: What sound are you looking for to determine if it’s the cassette vs the tensioner? My wife’s truck suddenly started rattling at startup and over 2k rpm. Want to cross the easy stuff before pulling the engine. Thanks again

I'm about to do this to my 99 Explorer. I'm gonna have to remove my wheel because I can't even see the tensioner from the top...

I totally crossed the fuck out of my threads , any suggestions

I'll detail your engine for 75.00$ and not a penny less.

It will make the rear chain assembly last longer

I really don't see any difference between these two tensinoers other than the outside appearance if you have the room to install on the firewall side do it.

Its nice that you don't have to deal with the air conditioning / from ford new the original left ( passenger side ) tensioner only has about a quarter of an inch of wiggle room ( travel )to the new cassette cartridge??? / I would suggest replacing the driver side tensioner with a new OEM from ford and then use the old one from the driver side to install on the passenger side as it has .200 more throw. and yes it does make a difference.

You should also prime the tensioners with oil, before installing them. Just fill a can with oil, put the tensioner in it and pump, until it gets real stiff.

I have a 2005 Chrysler town and country.When I turn the corner is comes out gear and goes back in gear so I straight out.2.) I am also burning fuel below 1/2 tank. I ve changed the map sensor then wires and plugs oil as well Clean the throttle body out.It does shutter at a light.Then I 'd step on the gas and it levels out. Does read misfire on bank 1 or plug 1.) But I did changed the plugs and coil packs as well

It totally worked awesome!! My truck is definitely not worth the amount to “fix” this. This is the ticket! Thanks so much!!

Man....I like the attitude....keep up from 🇿🇦

How long did it last though

Bro mad respect my truck was doing that thanks

Great video. Being a Nam vet 69-70, thanks for the National anthem. I have soft spot for 4 door cars also. I believe in keeping the car’s original, I hate it when idiot’s butcher a nice original car. They are only original once !
