Timing chain cassette lost plastic covers and the chain it’s loose even the tensioner doesn’t rich the chain so you need take out the engine and put all timing components to get fixed
Did you ever find out the problem your truck was having I have a 2005 just like yours not sounding as bad but it's making that noise Did you find a problem out
Someone removed the acoustic pillow noise dampener from under the plastic intake plenum. The intake is hollow and that accustic dampener stops all the engine noise from reaching that hollow intake manifold.
@Joe Bon its the guides..guides are made of plastic. With time they break and the chain hits metal parts..it happened to mine same noise...open the oil pan and you will see plastic parts....take care
@Joe Bon my explorer has 350 k i will be pulling the engine after this Plague goes away. And i will change the tuming chains...Jon take care, any question on the explorer shoot me a message..
@Joe Bon the engine has to be pulled out, sorry Man if i was you neighbor i would help u changed them..at no charge , engine swap be careful because those guides i dont think have been changed..
Jorge Toloza how do you know if all of them need changed? I have the same issue and took the front tensioner off and the noise was coming from in there, is it possible just the front one needs to be changed? Thank you
Time for a new timing chian and guide's. It's a major job. The easiest way is to remove the transmission to access the chain on the passenger side. The driver's side is on the front. Maybe do the driver's side first and see if that clears thing's up.
rear tensioner is easy to replace you dont need to get a new vehicle just because it makes this noise all you have to do is take off the passenger front tire and remove the plastic tabs in the rear fender wall and fold it back its plastic so you wont hurt it. it is a black 20 somthing milimeter socket
+michaelheiland123654 You're both incorrect, you can do the side and front, the back is what you can't do without an engine pull. If your guides fell apart, you can't fix that without a pull afaik
Timing chain guides, mine is doing same shit. Was told it's cheaper and easier to just do an engine swap as you have to pull the engine to do timing chain anyways
@@garybeltrand5802 Nope, just run it till it dies. To make it last a bit longer i suggest using a quart of lucas oil stabilizer in place of a quart of oil. It will quiet down the noise and may eliminate the imfamous 2k-3k RPM broken primary cassette rattle. However it will not do anything for the marbles-in-can rattle at idle...and it also wont do anything if you have the ear deafening "death rattle". Ive used it in many SOHC 4.0s and it has done wonders and i firmly believe Lucas extends the life of the timing chain and components.
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN Thanks for the info, was wondering if an additive might help. The rattle isn't that loud, I'll give Lucas a shot before dumping it. Kind of curious how long it will run with that issue. Guess I'll just make sure my towing/road coverage is up to date when using it.
@@garybeltrand5802 if its not loud it could run for many more years. Some of them self destruct shortly after the rattle starts but most will run for many miles.
Por eso hay que cambiar las cadenas, tensores y guías a tiempo y de manera preventiva después de las 100.000 millas. La mía tiene 145.000 y al encender a veces suena, no tan fuerte, pero ya las voy a cambiar en éstos días :)
+Sergio Amador Did you fix it, Lot of people what they do when they Ford sound like this they trade in or junk it and buy a Dodge Durango there are more reliable.
+michaelheiland123654 I'm.actually swapping motors, my mechanic fixed the broken chain tensioners but ran across a bigger problem no pressure in cylinder so yeah trade it in ASAP before the chain makes a hole through the valve cover like mine.
michaelheiland123654 I agree that this engine is badly designed. I think it's done purposely by the manufacturer to try and prevent people from being able to fix their own vehicles. Also I don't like that you can not check transmission fluid or add any without a special tool.
I hate that you can't check the fluid too! Just recently my truck stopped going into reverse.. and now I'm afraid that I'm going to need a new transmission.. I hope not because I already spent $1,500 on a used motor. Fawk there's always something bad happening.
Aint in the best shape. No radio, passenger seat has battery acid spilled, driver window motor might be shot, carpet aint very pretty, some broken glass from a broken rear window, possible steering issues, suspension needs attention... i know, sounds like a lot of problems but it was free and maybe a project car.
lindsley griffin Timing Chain Tensioner they are made out of cheap plastic lot of $$$$ to fix it is much better to get another engine,, is just a poor design.
the mechanic all 4?? The 4.0 v6 has 2 chains, one on the front for the 3 cylinders on the drivers side, and one on the rear for the passenger side cylinders. That doesn’t change if it’s a 4x4 or a rwd. The 4.6 2v v8 also offered in this generation explorer has one large timing chain on the front for all 8 cylinders. Again, this does not vary based on rwd or 4x4
I have the same noise on my 2003, the first 2 mechanics ask for $2000 in labor plus a new motor but a 3th mechanic fix my for $900 labor plus $300 on parts. Very hard find a hones mechanic...
Jeff Rodrick somethings gotta be causing you to lose power..the tensioner just keeps the chain guides in place so the chain doesn't slap against everything.
i have a 2005 to an mine makes the same thing . when shes cold sometimes its little loud an sometimes its quite but when shes wormed up she dont make it at all
+daniel juarez thanks I traded my old Explorer for an 2005 Chev equinox a lot better vehicle on gas an much cheaper to fix an so far I own it for like 6 months an haven't had to put nothing into it so I'd say that's a start
+Joshua O'Donnell thats a good pick. I and my wife liked the explorer till the cassettes broke in the right rear. thats when i told her you have a choice #1. buy another car, #2 buy a reman engine to get it on the road sooner and keep old engine to repair later or #3 rebuild engine. she had chosen #2 i got my work cut out for me in a few months

Timing chain is toast. Seen this 100s of times. Currently tearing one down and doing chains myself.
Timing chain cassette lost plastic covers and the chain it’s loose even the tensioner doesn’t rich the chain so you need take out the engine and put all timing components to get fixed
Any codes? I vote timing tensioner broke sounds like a stick in a fan I have one doing the same thing got 2 codes for cylinder 1&2 missfire.
Did you ever find out the problem your truck was having I have a 2005 just like yours not sounding as bad but it's making that noise
Did you find a problem out
My truck just started making this exact sound.
Michael Domenic sane
so what was the actual problem??
You may have a loose timing tensioner.... not the easiest to troubleshoot.
How often was the oil change was done on this Explorer every 3000 miles ?
I change oil on 2000 or less I never had prob like this , its take less then 20 minute ,
Khan Yousaf Ford Explorer Suck
Sounds like the timing chain guides need to be replaced. Not an easy job because you have to remove the engine to replace them.
Probably the timing chain I just replaced my engine because of this cheaper just to buy a used engine

Timing guides (casettes) one on the front and the other in back of engine..

Daniel Peters had to read your comment twice 😂
Timing chain tensioners shot. $300 parts at least $1000 labor, byou must remove the engine to repair the problem.
It’s like a Ford F-250 powerstroke v8 turbo diesel 6.0 cold start

I think he talking about the timing chain tensioners, hydraulic
And the transmission must be removed from the engine.

My Ranger 4.0 SOHC started making this sound. Odd thing is, only after it's warmed up. No loss of power and it runs fine though.
Ur timing chain cassettes are shot

+r u mad yet This Exploder don't last..

did you ever find out what the problem was? mine just started making the same noise
lindsley griffin Timing Chain Tensioner they are made out of cheap plastic lot of $$$$ to fix it is much better to get another engine,, is just a poor design.
Order a front right timing tensioner on amazon for less than $30 and it will likely solve the noise they go bad after 80k easy install

J Diez I have a fix for less than $50 bucks. The video will be uploaded soon!
swagondawheels jared where is your video?
J Diez hi, what you fixed finally, i have the same problem now (explorer 05) just start today and before today drive fine.
I have pretty same sound on my ford Explorer 2003, and i have not idea what it is, what was the issue in yours?
Try replacing the front and rear hydraulic tensioners first, before going further or get hoaked.
Como todas las de su marca explorer.
Still runs but I don't drive it anymore shes gonna explode
I got it free. Not too many oil changes from what i was told
mr.kodythao oil pump my 04 did the same thing
@@ddawg1239 did the noise stop after you put in a new oil pump??
Mine got so bad it blew through the left valve cover
I had the same problem, timing chain tensioner. $40 bucks. Easy fix.
Would bad timing chain tensioner cause loss of RPM as well as the knocking ?
Jeff Rodrick somethings gotta be causing you to lose power..the tensioner just keeps the chain guides in place so the chain doesn't slap against everything.
Its a timing chain cassette for sure...
Mine did the same at 163000 right after I replaced the transmission
Mines too bro I'm thinking it's a flex plate?
timing chain
Tengo una for explore 2002 con sonodo en el motor
Wat was wrong my truck is doin this
Internal gears are worn out due to not changing the oil, will need a new engine
+Ko Thao Which it suck that is what you get when you buy a Ford.
+michaelheiland123654
i got it for free... lol... but not gonna keep it

Got-TheFrag they suck they don't last long.
my lincoln aviator 4.6. same noise
Timing chain tensioner is better to buy a new engine ... You should had gotten a Dodge Durango .
Dodge is even worse than Ford.
Dodge Durango literally fall apart LOL. I spent more time working on my sisters dodge than I ever did my Mountaineer
