Ranger Edge 4.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 103,000 miles

Talk about job security for Ford, what are they thinking making timing chain parts and housing and gears PLASTIC??!! Sure to go out some time sooner rather than later , crumble rather in my particular case . AND... a common problem I heard from my trusted Ford Certified mechanic at 100, 000 miles . Beware it gets into the oil pan too!! A total top end rebuild, what a hassle for a vehicle less than 10 years old.
