Extremely helpful! I can't thank you enough for this video. I replaced my 2008 4.0.L Explorer gas tank due to a cracked leaking filler/check valve fitting. I was able to replace, put in a new fuel pump, and filter on a Sunday afternoon because of the thoroughness of this video. Thanks again.

I love my 07 Explorer, Her name is Vicky, she's parked for now. After 220,000 plus miles she got sick and came down with a case of the timing chain rattle, after coming across your channel I feel the confidence to rebuild the engine. Thank you for all your uploads and the effort you put into all your videos. I hope you know how much they are helping us weekend mechanics save a few bucks and keeping these 4.0 SOHCs on the road.

Why was it deemed a total loss?

wow i got same problem

What if I do not have a key switch. I have a push button to start my tractor how do I excite the alternator

thanks a bunch 👍👍👍👍👍

Bro! You are the F’ing man!!!!!

Thank you so much for a real video! I'm constantly looking for videos and information for my 02 Eddie Bauer Explorer. I love doing all of the work myself and you are extremely helpful! Thank you again!

Short n sweet!....thanks bud.

The range its said 13 14 16 ?

My 04 Explorer 4.0 has almost 300k miles on it. I have had a rattle for the past 10 years & over 100k but not that bad. It really hasn't gotten any worse really since it started. 🤷

I might have missed it in your video. How many quarts of oil does the Ford Explorer take? And if I want to use synthetic oil, what type of synthetic oil do I need? 0 w 30?

longshot here, HOPE YOU ARE STILL AROUND BRO! - Can I get the specs on that front lines "T" splitter on 5:21???

I just want to change my guides and cassettes, do you know what brand is reliable that sells just those? I don't want to pay for chains or cogs.

Hello friend! I really liked your video, especially since I'm just repairing such a motor. do you have a video on how to replace the inserts of the intermediate shaft that are in the block? and can you tell me if you need to deploy them after installing new ones? thank you!

Thanks. Since I messed up part one of actually fixing the door, this will now by my solution.

@iamdjnami have a question not sure if you have an email or so to help with, but I have done the whole engine swap with a good and running with 190 good compression all around and followed your steps the only difference is that the oil filter housing has an intercooler on top with 2 hoses left it alone not connected and I crank the engine it just turns off can you lmk please

Very imformative video. This guy covers the details that most KZbinrs ignore. Excellent.

Bro, the Vice grips !! Seeing that saved me. I got the wrong cam holder tools. So when I released the tensioners the cams slipped and I couldn’t figure out how to get the chains in time. Until I saw the vice grips. I order the right holder but it’s another 2 day out. Good shit, I can put everything back together days early. Thanks.

If im only replacing the left front tensioner anything I need to do or can I just remove and install the new ford tensioner without worrying about chain jumping?

Can this be done without removing the engine in a 06 ford mustang

Over 125-130 you pushing it over 130000 don't do it

Great job 👏 ❤

Thank you. I just had to change my water pump on my 2003 explorer. Saved me $350 dollars in labor.

Quick question, I’ve seen that the Mustang engine requires 11.8 quarts but you added 7 quarts not counting what drained. Can you go into detail why not the rest of the 4.8 quarts ? The trans itself shows you leveled it good but I’m very curious before I do it

Ayo is that a Loona shirt? Based AF

cool good stuff..Thank you.. glad u didnt break ur arm....

Would this same tool work for the 2007 ranger xlt 4.0 v6

Had timing noises coming from my engine for about a year. Finally it got way louder and worse one day. Low pressure light was on for a month. Watched this video 40 times, borrowed a hoist from a neighbor, pulled my first engine, found a sludge filled nightmare of an engine, power washed it, replaced the timing system, put it all back together, and it started right up. No low oil light. The oil intake screen was covered in plastic bits. Never done anything like it before. It’s been 1000 miles and the truck is still running like new. Anyone can do it. Took 3 weekends working when I could. Many thanks to this kid for his excellent videos. Successfully doing this feels so empowering.

Damn bro i was in Afghanistan good to see u...

Hi, can you please help me? I have an 02 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0. I just replaced the intake manifold gaskets. I went to start it and now I'm having codes P1131 and P1151. Prior to me changing them out I had no codes. Thanks(random but I don't see you have a video on this)

I am addicted to auto repair videos on KZbin. These are by far the most detailed instructional videos for this vehicle platform. I just bought my first explorer 4.0 this year. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Wow. Very strategic critical thinking. I have been working on this thing for 2 days. You are my savior. Thanks

It would be really cool if you did a video or put together a competable parts list for an 02 sport trac with the 4.0

very informative tks

Did you have to completely remove pickup tube, or just the oil pump bolts and ply out etc. Wondering if I can change pump without dropping whole pan, engine in truck non removed

Watching this in 2024, do you know of any rear guide that is metal reinforced? Seems the plastic arm is the lart that breaks. If not, what are your views on Melling guides?

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer with the 4.6 liter engine. It about 220,000 miles on it. I live in the rust belt and need to replace the two forward mounting studs on the passenger side exhaust manifold. This means I will likely be replacing all of the mounting bolts as I put in a new manifold gasket. I see that the head gasket is leaking (underside of engine are is covered (but not dripping) with oil. My question is SHOULD I EVEN bother replacing the head gasket? And if I do decide to replace it, should I be looking to replace other things at the same time - like the timing chain, starter motor and other parts? Thanks, love you videos, well done.

Well done nice job 👍🏼👍🏼

Bro your saving my 06 explorer lol 190,000 miles just got it for 1200. Clean body and frame. I’m attempting to get as much life out of it as possible. The transmission makes me weary though

Great video. More informative and less edited than most other vids out there that really didn't explain everything and more like this one. Now to get under the hood and hopefully have the same success as you on my 2008 E250 with less than 300,000 mile too.

Talk too much

watching this video, all I can think to myself is "what a smart a$$" --- and not in a bad way.. I have been struggling with my 4.0 for 3 days now.. Mine is a 96 OHV -- You have SO MUCH ROOM somehow... You make it look easy 🤣

Does this video apply to a 4 L engine in a 2009 Ford Ranger four-wheel-drive

I appreciate it im doing one rite now,i just didn't know how to check guides

I forgot to put the transmission in neutral before I began this job. How do I get it into neutral to spin the motor or do I need to get it on Jack stands now?

Grounding the alternator is soooo not necessary!

Might be a dumb question but is there any difference when doing this on a OHV 4.0 V6? @platniumproductions
